Over the past couple of weeks, the Russell Wilson-led Pittsburgh Steelers offense has come under fire for a lack of scoring, particularly in the red zone. The Steelers are currently ranked in the bottom three in red zone touchdown percentage, and Wilson is playing some of his worst football in this critical area of the field. However, Head Coach Mike Tomlin is well aware of the team’s struggles and sought to ease concerns during Tuesday’s press conference.
In reference to Tuesday’s practice, Tomlin stated, “We had a bonus-like day today with our players and really focused on ourselves and a couple areas of play that we feel like we needed to shore up, particularly red zone offense and some red zone defense.”
Tomlin went on to explain that the Steelers’ staff treated the past few days as a bye week in preparation for their Week 13 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, focusing heavily on schemes in these key areas of concern.
Fans will rejoice if the hard work the offense is putting in pays off when the Steelers take on the Bengals in Week 13, on December 1st, at 1:00 PM EST.
