| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm back. How is everyone doing? I hope great. I've been digging into |
| 0:11.1 | the senior bowl heavy. As I mentioned, I had to take a personal day yesterday, but I am |
| 0:16.1 | recording this on Thursday and want to continue our deep dive into the Steelers offense. And again, I mean, |
| 0:24.8 | these are very numbers driven, but worse than you thought. I mean, when it was all |
| 0:29.9 | said and done, 17 games of the regular season. If you didn't listen to the one two days ago, |
| 0:34.9 | I urge you to, then it's a little disheartening, to say the least. |
| 0:38.5 | So let's dig right in here. And I got all these bullet points, all of them, numbers driven. |
| 0:43.5 | But I will give you commentary as well, of course. And we're going to start with Russell Wilson. |
| 0:48.7 | Didn't throw for over 213 or 217 yards in his past four regular season games, and over his final five regular season games, |

| 1:25.0 | about him thrown between the numbers. |
| 1:34.3 | Second lowest percentage of qualified quarterbacks, only 49% between the numbers. |
| 1:42.5 | On throws outside the numbers, though, he averaged 7.7 yards per attempt, which is 12th best. |
| 1:43.2 | Pretty good. |
| 1:46.3 | He is a good outside deep ball thrower. |
| 1:51.8 | There's no question about that. This, I don't know if this is how he's been taught, but I definitely think it was something that was very prevalent with the Broncos. But Wilson threw the ball away, |
| 1:58.8 | what they just deemed a throwaway, on 7.2% of his dropbacks. |
| 2:05.3 | And only the Bears had more throwaways than the Steelers for the season. |
