For the first 30 minutes of play, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense looked pretty good. Not perfect, still living a little dangerously with so many third-and-longs but it was one of Kenny Pickett’s best halves of his young NFL career. The Steelers’ offense hung 20 points, matching their season-high over an entire game. So things felt positive.
Until it wasn’t.
Save for a semi-garbage time drive to end the game, Pittsburgh’s offense was a clunky mess throughout the second half. Listen to the players post-game and they all sing the same tune.
