Heading into week four, the Pittsburgh Steelers rank 28th in the league in passing yards as an offense with just 548 yards. They also rank 29th in net yards per pass attempt, showing that it’s not just about quantity of opportunity. There is no team in the league with fewer passing touchdowns. Not a single wide receiver has caught one yet, their two having gone to running back Najee Harris and tight end Pat Freiermuth, respectively.
“The receivers are legit”, New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh, of the Steelers’ upcoming opponent, said of Pittsburgh’s corps of wide receivers this week, according to Pittsburgh’s website.
