Through two preseason games, the Pittsburgh Steelers look like one of the worst teams in the AFC. We understand you have to take everything that happens in the preseason with a grain of salt but it has been discouraging to see how poorly the offense has played with all new starting quarterbacks in place.
ESPN NFL analyst Stephen A. Smith was on “First Take” and he did not hold back about just how bad the Steelers have looked.
I’ve never said this before because I believe in Mike Tomlin so much,” Smith said. “But the Steelers have last place written all over them.”
Smith followed it up as he passed the conversation to Shannon Sharpe that he doesn’t see how the Steelers can get themselves out of this.
"The Steelers looked awful offensively. … The Steelers have last place written all over them."

In two preseason games, the Steelers have mustered only 15 points, none of which came from the starting offense. This week the Steelers wrap up the preseason on the road against the Detroit Lions.
