New week, same story for the Pittsburgh Steelers when it comes to pushing the football down the field.
At least that’s head coach Mike Tomlin’s talking point.
In Sunday’s 35-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, the Steelers and rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett attempted just three passes of 20+ yards down the field, according to Next Gen Stats at NFL.com. Three attempts out of 38 total in the blowout loss.
From 10-19 yards, Pickett attempted just nine total passes in that window, meaning he attempted just 12 total pass past 10 yards in the loss to the Eagles.
