The Pittsburgh Steelers need to find an answer to solve their offensive problems following an underwhelming start to the season.

Aaron Rodgers was left frustrated on the back of Sunday’s showing, and it is no surprise given the Steelers were only able to score a single field goal.
Dropped catches have been an issue for the Steelers, but Pittsburgh are also relying heavily on a 42-year-old in a league that is currently seeing mobile quarterbacks flourish.
In what will be Rodgers’ final season in the NFL, Dave Portnoy has laid it all out for any Steelers fan hoping to see a postseason run with the veteran QB as the starter.
