The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line has been ineffective, particularly in a 20-3 loss to the New England Patriots on September 17. Spencer Anderson allowed seven pressures in the match, the highest among NFL right guards, while teammates struggled to provide adequate run support. Offensive changes are necessary for improvement, with calls to bench Anderson and Dylan Cook before Week 3. Despite offensive issues, the Steelers' defense has performed well, allowing only 26 points in two games and leading in defensive EPA metrics.
