So he's winning the way the team was designed to?
This isn't a high powered offense. That's why they were actively trying to trade for Aiyuk and Devante Adams. You're not going to light it up with just Pickens, Van Jefferson, and Calvin Austin.
The Steelers are basically built like Seattle was early in his career. They're not asking him to throw for 350 every game because they can't sustain that level of production.
He's doing exactly what he needs to do which is be efficient, mistake free, and open things up by establishing the threat of the deep ball.
You can't judge a QB on a team like this with stats. The only numbers that matter are the record and TD:INT. You tried to slight his performance in the Washington game like he didn't throw the game winning TD with 2 minutes left. No one looked good in the Ravens games and that's usually how those teams play each other. A win is a win whether by 30 or 3.
The playoffs are going to be played in KC, BMore, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh. They're built for cold weather, ugly, grind it out, close games. They're definitely a threat to come out of the AFC and that's because Russ has been there before and gives them a winning presence.
