Shocking Stat Shows Just How Bad Steelers’ Downfield Passing Game Has Been

When Aaron Rodgers signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, it felt like he’d be the first quarterback in a while to truly open up their passing game. The unit hasn’t had much of an explosive element at all in recent years. And with Rodgers and DK Metcalf in the fold the Steelers hoped those days were over.

Unfortunately, they are still very much alive. And things reached a new low in November. CBS Sports’ Ben Fennell shared a stat on X that the Steelers did not complete a pass over 20 air yards during the entire month.
