The Pittsburgh Steelers offense has been lackluster this season, ranking near the bottom in total and rushing offense, and only slightly better in passing offense. A significant issue is their inability to make big plays, with only a 4.6% explosive play rate, one of the lowest in the league. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith has faced criticism for not calling more middle-of-the-field pass plays. Despite a productive run game last week, two turnovers cost them the game. Looking ahead, Aaron Rodgers return and a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills present challenges for the Steelers offense.
