It’s not lost on Pittsburgh Steelers fans how concerning the offensive line’s performance was in the season opener against the New York Jets. They struggled to create rushing lanes and struggled to protect 41-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Neither of those is a recipe for success, even if Pittsburgh did find a way to win, thanks in part to Rodgers and his four touchdown passes.
But carrying such a bad performance into Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks isn’t something the Steelers can afford in their home opener. Seattle’s pass rush is much more formidable than many around the league will give it credit for.
