In his second year with the team, offensive coordinator Arthur Smith truly made the offense his own. The usage of tight ends. The zone running scheme. The absence of receiver production beyond the starters. He’s also spreading the love. Eleven months ago, we noted Smith was spreading the love and wealth in the passing game. At the time, seven different players caught a touchdown. The Steelers finished the year with nine.
Through just six games of 2025, that mark has nearly been matched. Eight different Steelers have found the end zone: DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Ben Skowronek, Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Connor Heyward, Jonnu Smith, and Jaylen Warren.
