What exactly will the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense look like in 2025? With QB Aaron Rodgers, you can expect more emphasis on throwing the ball, right? But offensive coordinator Arthur Smith loves the run game. And so does Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin.
Tomlin wants to control the game, and handing the ball off helps that immensely. First, it’s a fundamentally safer play than throwing the ball. Secondly, it can help control the time of possession. Defensive-minded coaches love that sort of thing.
But a strong running game could also be of great help to Aaron Rodgers. If the Steelers can run the ball effectively, it can force defenses to focus on stopping the run.
