Steelers' offensive keys to victory for Week 6 game vs. Buccaneers

The upcoming Week 6 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will hinge on the Steelers' offensive performance. The key to victory lies in getting the ball into the hands of their star player, Jaylen Warren. Warren has already amassed an impressive 410 rushing yards, which places him in the top six of NFL rushing charts, and leads the team with 230 receiving yards.

The Buccaneers will focus on limiting Warren's impact, so the Steelers must prioritize keeping him involved in the offense. Furthermore, the Steelers need to increase their reliance on play action, which currently accounts for only 18.7% of their play-calling, the fifth-lowest rate in the NFL. With Warren emerging as a top running back, play-action calls will provide the Buccaneers with less information to prepare for.

Lastly, the Steelers must give more opportunities to their second-round rookie wide receiver, Germie Bernard, who is currently sidelined due to an injury. Bernard has proven to be a valuable asset, capable of making plays from any part of the offensive formation. With Wilson and Pittman Jr. out of the lineup, the Steelers will need Bernard to step up and contribute significantly in Week 6.
