After a 2019 season where the Steelers were last in many categories, it shouldn’t be too difficult to make improvements in 2020.

The Steelers took a tumble in this category. In 2019, the offense produced 5.2 plays per drive, down from 6.2 in ’18. What’s worse was their three-and-outs. Their league .236 average, according to Football Outsiders, ranked them 24th overall. In ’18, they stood tall in sixth place with an average of .172.

Offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner has more weapons than ever at his disposal — hopefully he will use them wisely.
