Steelers Offense Severely Impacted By Too Many False Starts Against Browns

The Pittsburgh Steelers committed 10 total penalties in their Sunday home win against the Cleveland Browns and that’s the second consecutive game they’ve reached that number in that dubious statistic. If the 10 total penalties weren’t enough, eight of them were on the offense with six of them being false starts.

Four of those six false starts happened on second downs and three of the six penalties ultimately led to drives being killed. The Steelers offense only had nine meaningful possessions on Sunday so you can see how hurtful those false start penalties were.
