The Pittsburgh Steelers are 1-1, and the sky isn’t falling just yet. But it sure does look grim outside.
Through two weeks, the Steelers have shown consistency in a few metrics that should have every Yinzir worried if they aren’t already. Most of those issues are on the defensive side of the ball, where they rank 28th against the run and 25th against the pass. The team is ranked 29th in points allowed, and only three teams have fewer sacks than Pittsburgh.
Things don’t get much brighter on offense. Pittsburgh is 27th in total yards, 28th in first downs, 30th in rushing, and 29th in average time of possession per drive.
