The Morning After: The Steelers’ offense has found its formula

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has transformed into one of the NFL’s most potent units over the past three weeks, after a shaky start to the season. Since Week 3, Pittsburgh ranks fourth in expected points added per play, trailing only the Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, and Cincinnati Bengals.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been a key driver, leading the league in touchdown passes (nine) and ranking seventh in passing yards (827) among QBs with at least 10 snaps. His efficiency—including a 13th-place ranking in EPA per play—has silenced doubters questioning his ability to elevate the team’s fortunes.

The real story, however, belongs to Jaylen Warren, who has redefined Pittsburgh’s offensive identity. Over the last three games, Warren dominates every major rushing stat, leading all running backs in total EPA, yards per carry, and receiving yards.

His versatility was on full display in Week 5, where he rushed for over 100 yards and caught 50 more, breaking his career-high mark with 87 receiving yards. The Steelers’ formula—relying on Warren as a dual-threat weapon—has unlocked a dynamic offense, forcing defenses to respect his ability to impact the game in multiple ways.
