Steelers Need To Improve Red Zone Efficiency, Rooney Says

Earlier in the week, we wrote about the ugly “23” number the Pittsburgh Steelers have been stuck on the last two seasons. All due respect to Damontae Kazee, the 23 we’re talking about is the Steelers’ red zone offense that has finished exactly 23rd each of the last two seasons.

Speaking to reporters Thursday afternoon, Team President Art Rooney II recognizes the offense must do a better job finishing drives.

Here’s what he told reporters via Steelers.com’s Dale Lolley.

Rooney said he'd obviously like to see the Steelers score more points, but pointed to the team breaking in two new quarterbacks this season as a reason for a slow start.
