Mike Tomlin On Issues Getting Off To Fast Start: ‘Really It’s Been Popcorn’

Point blank, the Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the absolute most garbage teams in the NFL in terms of starting games fast on offense in 2020, particularly on their opening drives. In fact, all too frequently lately, they have been starting games by going three and out, failing to achieve even a single first down, immediately losing the field position battle.

Over the course of their first 14 games, they have finished 11 opening drives with zero points. They have successfully kicked two field goals, missed a third, and scored a touchdown. They have punted nine times, and lost a fumble on another occasion.
