Abysmal showing, unable to flip the script for a five-game losing streak to the Ravens, and no playoff wins since 2016 still. Ouch. Pittsburgh’s offense was non-existent in the first half, and the run defense had no answers for Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry in the 28-14 loss.
In this article I will provide data from Pro Football Focus (PFF) and takeaways from watching the film.
Offense:
Excellent (90-Plus Grades):
NONE.
Great (80-Plus Grades):
Three players. WR Mike Williams was the highest grade on offense (84.9 grade, 9 snaps). The low usage unfortunately continued, despite the offense needing to pull out all the stops in the postseason.
