Though it came with the ugly caveat of a historically poor finish, the Pittsburgh Steelers had their best offensive output in years during Arthur Smith’s first season as offensive coordinator. The team finished 16th in points per game, and for one brief mid-season moment, cracked the top 10. But given the ending and one-and-done playoff outcome, there’s plenty of work left to do. For Smith, the Steelers’ 2025 offense will look much closer to the offense he wants to run.
“I’ve heard that from multiple people he pretty much had to dial back to what was available to him at the time,” beat writer Mark Kaboly said of Smith’s offense on 93.
