There wasn’t a whole lot to love about the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense in 2024. It was certainly improved with Arthur Smith as the offensive coordinator, but the lack of star power and subpar play at quarterback ultimately fueled the disappointing end to the season.
Luckily, the 2025 season will kick off soon, and the hope is that Aaron Rodgers will give the offense the jolt it needs to take a step towards competing against the top teams in the AFC. Of course, Rodgers comes with his own baggage at 41 years old.
Still, for all the curiosities Rodgers and Smith’s pairings bring, there’s one aspect beyond their past successes elsewhere that could point toward more success in the offense than many might expect.
