Steelers Gaudy 2018 Offensive Stats A Needed Byproduct Of Poor Starting Field Position

Statistically, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense has been one of the best in the league in 2018 as that unit is top 5 in categories such as total net yards, yards gained per game, net passing yards and average points scored per game. While those stats and rankings certainly look great on paper, the unfortunate part of those lofty statistics is the fact that the offensive unit has needed every bit of it as a result of the team failing miserably in the hidden yardage aspect of their 15 games played so far.

For starters, and excluding drives that included kneel-downs, the Steelers offense enters the final week of the 2018 regular season with an average starting field position of their own 26 yard-line and that ties them for last in the league with the Atlanta Falcons.
