The vibe surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers coming out of the 2022 season based on the way the Black and Gold played down the stretch were quite high.
Pittsburgh showed real fight and saw great promise from young pieces throughout the roster, especially on offense.
One key thing was missing though offensively, and it was a major point of emphasis in the offseason. Now, it wasn’t scoring more points — which is an obvious. Instead, a lot of attention was put on improving Yards After Catch.
“It’s high risk, throwing the ball all the way down the field, maybe in double coverage or if it’s 40 yards in the air,” Steelers quarterback Mitch Trubisky said to ESPN’s Brooke Pryor regarding the emphasis on YAC in today’s game, compared to deep shots.
