Steelers are finally learning what Falcons fans have always known about Arthur Smith

The Atlanta Falcons hired Arthur Smith in 2021, hoping he would be the next young, genius play-caller in the NFL—it didn't take long for everyone to figure out he wasn't.

Three years into his time in Atlanta, he was fired as the head coach after another 7-10 season. Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers, who had a rotating door at offensive coordinator, hired him to be their play-caller.

They hoped he would lead a smash-mouth running game, which would pair well with a lockdown defense. However, his offense has been far too inconsistent, especially when everything is on the line.
