CINCINNATI — This article originally appeared on steelersnow.com.
The streak of offensive futility is over. For the first time in three years and the first time since their game against the Cleveland Browns in the Wild Card round of the 2020 playoffs, they have eclipsed 400 yards in a game. That goes the entire tenure of Matt Canada’s stay as offensive coordinator, a whopping 45 games. It was the longest active streak in the NFL that Pittsburgh has now broken. If you do not count that, it was a crazy 58 games.
In the game, Eddie Faulkner and Mike Sullivan vowed to make teams respect the offense with a more grounded approach focused on players rather than plays. That has mixed results in putting points on the board; the yards have come naturally for the offense.
As the Steelers ' interim offensive coordinator, Faulkner admitted that Rome can’t be built in one day. Will the scheme suddenly look vastly different? Probably not. It’s Week 12, and some tweaks will be made to maximize the talent on the offense; not everything can suddenly be flipped. But focusing on players and the details will be critical for the team to get things going.
