Steelers Offense Struggles Amid Defense Dominance in Training Camp

News summary

The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense has struggled significantly during the 2025 training camp, facing strong dominance from their defense and showing difficulties in establishing consistent chemistry, especially with their quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers has exhibited a tendency toward short passes and checkdowns, with notable connections developing mainly with receiver DK Metcalf, while other receiving options like Roman Wilson and tight end Pat Freiermuth are still working to build rapport. The offense's issues were highlighted in drills such as Seven Shots and goal-line scenarios, where the defense repeatedly overwhelmed the offense, ending with poor scores and limited offensive success. Despite offseason investments in the offensive line, the Steelers still struggle with the running game, which remains below average, further complicating offensive efficiency. While the defense continues to earn praise for its dominance and physicality reminiscent of the Steelers' historic 'Steel Curtain,' significant improvements are needed from the offense before the season opener against the Jets. The Jets’ offense also faces challenges, exemplified by Justin Fields’ early struggles marked by interceptions and limited completions, setting the stage for a tough contest between two teams with offensive uncertainties.
