On this 4th of July, you’ll probably finish the holiday with some fireworks. Big, explosive, fun and pretty to watch. The Pittsburgh Steelers offense should aim to look like that in 2024. For several seasons, they’ve been anything but. The equivalent of a sparkler. Dull, lame, something to distract the kids while you crush another beer because America.
In an era where success is defined by how many big plays and points offenses can put up, the Steelers have lagged. Since the NFL moved to its 17-game season, Pittsburgh has consistently finished near the basement, only ahead of truly the league’s most putrid offenses.
