The Pittsburgh Steelers have finally broken their streak of sub-400 yard games, a streak that lasted for three years and 45 games under offensive coordinator Matt Canada. This was achieved in their most recent game against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Steelers offense has been struggling to put points on the board, they managed to amass over 400 yards in this game by focusing on players and details rather than flashy plays.
As interim offensive coordinator Eddie Faulkner expressed, Rome cannot be built in one day, so major changes to the scheme are unlikely at this point in the season. However, small tweaks will be made to maximize the talent on the offense and continue to improve their performance. It's clear that the Steelers are committed to breaking out of their offensive slump and regaining their reputation as a dangerous offensive team.
The question now is whether this breakthrough will translate into more success in future games. Can the Steelers continue to put up yards and, more importantly, points on the board? Only time will tell, but their victory over the Bengals is a step in the right direction for their offense.
