Pat Freiermuth, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight end, expressed his determination to help the team return to its winning ways, stating that they’re “trying to fight every way we can to return to the standard” ¹. This comes after a disappointing season where the Steelers struggled to find consistency on offense.
Freiermuth, who had a solid game in the Steelers’ Wild Card playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills, emphasized the importance of finding their identity as a team earlier in the season. He believes that the Steelers can build on their late-season momentum, particularly in the running game, which averaged nearly 150 yards per game in the second half of the season.
The Steelers’ offense, which was plagued by injuries and inconsistency, will look to regroup and refocus in the offseason. Freiermuth’s comments suggest that the team is committed to returning to its winning ways and restoring the standard of excellence that has defined the Steelers’ franchise.
It’s worth noting that the Steelers have some key decisions to make in the offseason, including the potential hiring of a new offensive coordinator. Despite the challenges ahead, Freiermuth’s comments suggest that the team is optimistic about its chances of bouncing back in 2025.
