Through two games, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense was averaging below 300 yards per game, and was fifth-lowest in the NFL this season. That average will improve slightly following Week 3’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, where the Steelers had a season-best 342 yards to eclipse the prior best of 331 from Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
It will still remain among the lower averages in the NFL this season, and never got to full speed in Week 3, which ended in a 24-10 win for the Bengals. Penalties played a part in the loss, with the Steelers committing their most in a full year.
