Study: Steelers’ Red Zone, Passing Offense Impressive In Preseason Opener

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense did some nice things through the air in the team’s 2025 preseason opener. As the headline suggests, I was curious to see how the encouraging scoring production stacked up around the league.

Three of those four passing touchdowns came from the red zone, which tied for fourth in total touchdowns from the red area in preseason Week One.
