For two straight games, the Pittsburgh Steelers have played pretty one-dimensional on offense. QB Kenny Pickett has had to attempt 86 passes in Pittsburgh’s first two regular season games as the running game has been underwhelming, being completely abandoned last weekend against San Francisco and only mustered 55 yards on 21 carries on Monday night against the Cleveland Browns.
Speaking to the media following the game, C Mason Cole mentioned that the play calling has nothing to do with the lack of success in Pittsburgh’s rushing attack thus far, but rather that it’s purely performance-based by the team on the field.
