    Who cares? They have been scoring TDs on opening drives more this season then they have in the past.

    still a NFL record for the number of games without scoring over 7 points in the first quarter.When the last time the steelers had a fast start in the first quarter?

    If you watched the games they have scored a TD on their opening drives a few times this season, you're just looking for some negative crap like you always do when the team loses a game :facepalm:.

    This is as valuable as having non-losing seasons. Either both stats matter, or neither do.

    Who gives a rat's ass? They've scored more points than their opponents in 4 out of 6 games this season, so far. That's what matters!

    It's a symptom of the opening game scripts. Two plus years of Matt Canada is a large chunk.

    EDIT: I should also add it's a symptom of a defense that can't get off the field early in games.

    Don't matter if they score 21 in first quarter, we'd still be hanging on for dear life with 5 minutes left in game.

    Mike would start prevent D in the second qtr.;)

    The Steelers have scored on the first drive a number of times this season. If that doesn't count as a fast start for you, then what is your definition of a fast start?

    So it appears they have addressed the problem, most notably by signing Rodgers.

    It’s how you end the game. Some are better than others
