Study: Under Arthur Smith, Pittsburgh’s Digging Out Of 2nd And Long

Related Topics: Arthur Smith, Russell Wilson

The Arthur Smith offense is just starting to rev up.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have scored 95 points over the last three weeks. That is six weeks’ worth of scoring in previous seasons. The team is moving the ball more efficiently leading to fewer three-and-out drives.

However, not all drives are smooth sailing. First downs are not always successful leading to a dreaded second-and-long scenario. In this situation, a successful second-down play can be the difference between progressing down the field or a punt in their near future. So, play selection is important.

The bye week is a suitable time to take a look at the Smith offense and how the Steelers are managing this scenario.
