Steelers struggle with third-down conversions and formation choices

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 8 Oct, 19:31 · Archive

The Pittsburgh Steelers are focusing on improving third-down conversion rates while underutilising their most effective offensive formation.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have made third-down conversion a priority for their offence this week as they seek to improve in that area.

PennLive reports that the Steelers have performed well when running 12 personnel and operating from under centre, yet the team has been playing more from spread looks and 11 personnel formations. The reason for this apparent mismatch between their most explosive formation and actual play-calling remains unclear.
