Description

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense continues to baffle fans and analysts with their persistent avoidance of throwing passes to the middle of the field, regardless of the quarterback. Despite having players like Pat Freiermuth who excel in breaking through zone defenses, the team focuses on short passes and screen plays, limiting their potential.
