Steelers Finish 2023 With Lowest Points-Per-Game Total In Quarter-Century

The Pittsburgh Steelers went 14 games through the 2023 season without putting up 30 or more points even once. Then they managed it twice in a row, but finished the season with a total of 17, which was still enough to win.

That left them just two points shy of averaging exactly 18 points per game on the season, scoring 304 in total over 17 games. the 17.9-point average marks their lowest per-game scoring output in a quarter of a century. They averaged an awful 16.4 points per game during the 1998 season in a 7-9 campaign under head coach Bill Cowher.
