🏈 Pro Football Network ranked the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line 24th in the NFL with a regular season grade of 66.5 (D). Their postseason grade was a 64.0 (D).
“The Pittsburgh Steelers’ OL struggled this season with pass blocking, evidenced by a 38.6 % pressure rate allowed in the regular season (29th in the NFL). The unit struggled regardless of whether it was facing the blitz (9.8% sack rate, 22nd) or just four defenders or less (38.1% pressure rate, 31st; 8.7% sack rate, 31st). This despite the offense having the ninth-longest time to throw this season. The run game was also an issue. The Steelers averaged just 0.70 RBYPC/rush (28th) in the regular season, which made it hard to achieve any consistency on the ground. They were 18th in RBWR, but that still results in a well-below-average rushing group.”

🏈 On this day in 1980, the Steelers capped off their dynasty with their fourth championship in six years. Terry Bradshaw led Pittsburgh to a 31-19 victory over the Rams in Super Bowl XIV, cementing their legacy in NFL history.
