Another week, another dreadful offensive showing from the Pittsburgh Steelers, this time resulting in a 30-6 loss on the road to the Houston Texans.

In the first half, the Steelers had just 53 net yards of total offense as the first five drives of the game went like this: interception, punt, punt, punt, punt.

In the second half, the Steelers showed some life, clawing back to make it a 16-6 game before a bone-headed play call on fourth and 1 led to a turnover on downs, allowing the Texans to put the game away for good.

For veteran center Mason Cole, the “inefficient, bad ball” that the offense showed on Sunday for the third time in four games is killing the Steelers and is rather frustrating for the players and coaches.
