Steelers Wide Receivers Are Going Through A Severe Touchdown Drought

It’s been four weeks and and the next Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver to catch a touchdown will be the first of 2022. Through four games, the Steelers have only thrown two touchdown passes, tied with the Chicago Bears for the fewest in football. Those two scores have gone to TE Pat Freiermuth and RB Najee Harris. So far, the receivers are waiting their turn.

To put that in perspective, it’s the Steelers’ longest drought to open the year since 2000 when it took until the team’s fifth game for a wideout to find the end zone, Bobby Shaw of all people catching a ten yard pass from Kordell Stewart to beat the Jets.
