The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense this season, outside of the period during which they were battling through Ben Roethlisberger’s knee injury, has been, for the most part, pretty stable. They have not put up quite as many points, perhaps, as many might have projected, but they have been relatively efficient outside of that midseason skid—and, of course, the blemish in Philadelphia.
It should not be surprising that a stable offensive line has been a big part of that, and Marcus Gilbert re-emergence into the lineup and playing back into form after missing three games due to a foot injury, and taking a couple of games to get his feet back under him, has helped solidify an overall strong offensive unit that has lately been more likely to be its own worst enemy rather than its opponents.
