While anemic might be too strong a word, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ pass rush left a lot on the table this past Sunday against quarterback Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, who now lead the AFC North at 3-1 heading into this weekend’s games.
Compared to their typical performance, including that of the first two games of the season, they looked quite lacking. That was due in part to the fact that the Bengals only dropped back to pass a couple dozen times, including a handful of scrambles from Burrow, but the bottom line is they didn’t bring him down once.
