Tomlin: Steelers ‘Reaped The Benefits’ Of Red-Zone Work During Mini-Bye Week

If there is one area that could decide the fate of the 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers, it would probably be the red-zone offense. While the offense has been moving the ball well since Russell Wilson entered the starting lineup, they hadn’t been capitalizing on their red-zone opportunities.

Through the first two games of the AFC North four-game gauntlet, the Steelers had scored just one touchdown on six opportunities in the red zone with four field goals and an interception. That is an abysmal 16.6 touchdown rate. That dragged their season average down to 44.7 percent.

Week 13’s 44-38 win wasn’t perfect, but it was a step in the right direction with two touchdowns and two field goals on four attempts.
