It’s been hard to get too excited about things on the offensive side of the ball this season for Pittsburgh. The Steelers lost their franchise quarterback back in Week 2 against Seattle and a pair of unproven signal-callers were forced to step up and fill the void.
Meanwhile, the run game has struggled this season and James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster have each missed extended time with injuries. The offense has taken a giant step back this season and Randy Fichtner’s unit is just 23rd in the league in points per game (19.9).
However, even with all of their offensive woes, this Steelers teams have a chance to make history this season, thanks to their stellar defense.
