It was one of the underrated stats of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2018 season. Despite a potent offense that ranked in the top ten in points per game, they rarely benefited from good field position.
In 2019? It’s the opposite.
While the offense has floundered and currently ranks 27th in points per game, just 49 of them in three weeks, field position hasn’t been the issue. They rank 12th in the NFL with an average drive starting at their 29 yard line, a full three yards better than a year ago where they finished dead last in football.
