Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers are now on their bye week you can probably expect offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner to spend a little extra time on working on pass plays that include the football being pushed down the field more than 15 yards past the line of scrimmage. That’s because the Steelers enter Week 7 of the 2019 NFL regular season as the worst deep passing team in the NFL and it’s not even closely contested.
In total, Steelers quarterbacks have attempted 28 deep passes through six games, and they’ve completed just six of them for 207 yards with two going for touchdowns and three others being intercepted.
