And now the fight begins. That’s the Pittsburgh Steelers’ message coming out of the bye, knowing what awaits them. While they finished their first half 6-2, leading the division, they have the toughest schedule in the back half of the year. And especially when it comes to the offensive side of the ball, Arthur Smith is taking nothing for granted.
Over their previous three games, the Steelers are averaging 31.7 points and 376 yards. And they managed to maintain that consistency through lineup changes, most notably at quarterback. Despite losing their center for most of that stretch, RB Najee Harris rushed for 100 yards in each game.
