Steelers Stumble at Acrisure Stadium Against San Francisco 49ers

The Pittsburgh Steelers faced a challenging game at Acrisure Stadium, ending with a record of 5-3 after a 30-7 defeat against the San Francisco 49ers. The home team struggled to keep up with the visitors, who also hold a record of 5-3 this season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had difficulty finding their rhythm on offense throughout the game. Despite completing 31 passes for a total of 232 yards, they were only able to convert one touchdown and suffered two interceptions. The passing game saw an average gain of just under four yards per attempt and was hindered by five sacks totaling a loss of 34 yards. The longest pass completion was for just 31 yards.

On the ground, the rushing attack didn't fare much better, managing only ten attempts for an average gain of four yards per carry. Their longest rush was notable at 24 yards but wasn't enough to significantly impact the overall offensive output.

Defensively, the Steelers showed some resilience with three sacks and seventeen sack-related yard losses inflicted on their opponents. They also forced three fumbles during play but could only recover one. However, they missed seven tackles which may have contributed to their inability to contain the opposing team's advance effectively.

Special teams had mixed results; while kick returns averaged over thirty yards across three attempts with a long return of thirty-four yards, punt returns were minimal with just two total return yards from one attempt.

In terms of efficiency on critical downs, third-down conversions were successful about thirty-three percent of times from fifteen attempts while fourth-down efforts yielded success in one out of three tries.
