Win or lose, opposing offenses have enjoyed success throwing the football against the Pittsburgh Steelers this year. They rank 26th in passing yardage allowed, for example, having just given up over 300 yards to rookie QB C.J. Stroud in a 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans.
Every week, though, it’s been one wide receiver doing major damage. Three times in four games, they have allowed a wide receiver to catch seven-plus passes for 125-plus yards and two touchdowns. The only exception, against the Cleveland Browns, featured Amari Cooper catching seven passes for 90.
That’s not exactly a vacation, and that’s the best of the lot.
