Not about to pitch for a parade for Arthur Smith, but I do feel like it's worth a pause, not just to flip the script here.

To appreciate what this offense is beginning to become. Good morning to you. Good Wednesday morning.

I'm Dan Kovachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. And this is Daily Shot of Steelers presented by Fanduil.

It comes your way bright and early every weekday. If you're into hockey and or baseball, I also offer daily shots of

penguins and pirates in the same place that you found this. No, it is not some complete project.

It's not some super awesome thing. The offense, as a matter of fact, ranks 25th in the 32 team NFL when it comes

to average yardage. That's 297.5 per game. But the offense also ranks 12th in offensive scoring

at 25 points per game.

And that's really good.

In fact, I'll take it a little further.

That's enough, I think, to get this team into the playoffs

and possibly enough for them to do damage in the playoffs.

Since I am flipping this script today, I'm not going to get into that other reason

why they might not do either of those things.

But full credit, where it's due, because not only is the offense producing, it's also progressing.

It's a little bit better.

Week after week after week. Lo Love what I saw from them in

Ireland, 24 points against the hallowed Brian Flore's defense of the Vikings. Really loved what I saw

of them against the Browns who might have, when everybody's really gone, the best defense in the NFL,

23 points against them.

And then, you know, going out to Cincinnati, you can pick a knit here or there, but they still

popped 31 points.
