The Pittsburgh Steelers are doing their best to work their way out of an end-of-season slump. After being in control of the AFC North for most of the season, the Steelers are in the midst of a three-game losing streak and have watched the Baltimore Ravens take over the top of the division standings.
Now, a brutal statistic has been revealed that highlights just how inept the Steelers have been not only this season but stretching back to 2022.
“Joe Burrow has thrown 42 TD passes in 16 games this season. The Steelers have thrown 41 TD passes their last 44 games, Week 7 of the 2022 regular season to today,” reported Steelers media member Alex Kozora.

Fans reacted to the news on social media.
“All the talk about what needs to change to win a playoff game is silly without acknowledging that the Steelers haven’t had an elite QB in a decade in a league where you *need* one,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“I mean burrow is the best QB in the nfl with Chase and Higgins and the Steelers got unlucky the yr they could have drafted a qb cuz they all sucked,” one fan added.
“Hey let’s not hire a young innovative OC. Keep running that 80s offense. Well done Tomlin,” added another fan.
It’ll be interesting to see if the Steelers can clean up their offense in time for the playoffs.
