Steelers offensive trio ranked 27th by CBS Sports

A CBS Sports panel of analysts placed the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive trio of Aaron Rodgers, Jaylen Warren and DK Metcalf at No. 27 among NFL teams.

The ranking reflects skepticism about the unit heading into the 2026 season. Jared Dubin noted that Rodgers threw for 24 touchdowns and seven interceptions while playing conservatively with short passes.

Warren is expected to split carries with Dowdle but holds the lead role due to his versatility. Metcalf posted the second-fewest yards per game of his career and does not align well with Rodgers' style.

The Steelers tied with the group featuring Jacoby Brissett, Jeremiyah Love and Trey McBride. Individual analysts ranked the trio as high as 20th and as low as 29th.

The low placement stems from last season's results, though the team added Mike McCarthy as coach and made other offensive changes.
