In Arthur Smith's second season as offensive coordinator, diversity of attack has become a staple of the Steelers' offense.
Last week against the Bengals, Pat Freiermuth became the sixth non-QB this season to gain over 70 yards of offense in a game. He caught 5 passes for 111 yards and 2 touchdowns to join DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin, Jaylen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell, and Darnell Washington as statistical examples of in-game weapons.
Last year's Steelers, while also starting 4-2, had only three such players at this point in the season.
