Steelers Pitiful Kick Return Game Continues
I say this with all sincerity. It is hard to be as bad in the kick return game as the Pittsburgh Steelers have been over the past three years.
No one’s been worse. That’s a fact.
For 2019, Pittsburgh averaged 18.1 yards per kick return. That ranked 31st in football, ahead of only the Dallas Cowboys. The Steelers’ mark was their third worst average since the merger, only ahead of 1992 (17.6) and 1993 (16.9).
It’s a unit stuck in Groundhog day. New year, same result. Since 2017, here are the year-by-year results of where Pittsburgh’s kick return game has finished.
2017 – 29th (19.1)
2018 – 31st (19.3)
2019 – 31st (18.1)
