Mike McCarthy Takes Charge of Steelers’ Offensive Play-Calling
Mike McCarthy has taken the reins of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive play-calling. This marks a significant shift, as the franchise has never had a head coach fulfilling this role. During his introductory press conference, McCarthy confirmed, “Definitely, I will call the plays on offense and obviously will run the offense.”
McCarthy Faces Offensive Challenges
Since the departure of Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers’ offense has struggled. In 2025, with Aaron Rodgers at the quarterback position, the team finished 25th in total offense, averaging 305.6 yards per game. This performance highlighted the need for an overhaul.
Current Offensive Statistics
- Rank: 25th in total offense
- Yards per game: 305.6
- Scoring rank: 15th
- Points per game: 23.4
With McCarthy now calling the plays, he faces the daunting task of revitalizing the offense. His strategies will be crucial, regardless of whether Rodgers plans to play another season.
The Steelers are looking for improvements that align with McCarthy’s vision. Fans are eager to see how his leadership will influence the team’s performance moving forward.
