Pittsburgh Steelers Face Challenges Despite Win

The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing significant challenges with their wide receiver corps, particularly following George Pickens, who has shown potential but received minimal support from his teammates. In their first two games, non-Pickens receivers have only managed five catches for 28 yards, contributing to the team's struggles to score. Despite the offensive limitations, head coach Mike Tomlin's strategy remains consistent, focusing on strong defense and effective field position, which has historically led to 'ugly' wins. Bill Belichick emphasized that the Steelers' game plan does not change regardless of the quarterback, which has led to a solid defensive performance this season. Meanwhile, the Steelers are actively scouting top quarterback prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft, indicating potential future changes in their offensive strategy. The defense has shown promise, particularly with T.J. Watt's performance, although analysts express caution regarding their dominance against stronger quarterbacks.
