THE OFFENSIVE IDENTITY
Rodgers and McCarthy, together again.
PIT 3, NE 20 — final. Dowdle returned after the toe issue. Pittsburgh’s limited offensive production remains distinct from his next-game medical status. Week 2 snap counts are available; route participation and targets per route remain unverified.
McCarthy and Angelichio are new for 2026. Pittsburgh’s 2025 tendencies describe the Tomlin/Arthur Smith offense; they are not measurements of McCarthy’s current play mix.

The approach behind the offense
Reported concepts and coaching prioritiesQuarterback familiarity
McCarthy’s January introduction confirmed that he will run the offense and call plays. His prior work with Rodgers supplies familiarity; it does not guarantee the same production or scheme frequencies.
Source & context ↗Earn timing and trust
September 3 reporting describes Wilson refining intermediate routes and Bernard learning adjustments. Rodgers praised their progress while stressing that regular-season execution still has to establish trust.
Source & context ↗Five roles learning to fit
September 11 line reporting confirms Fautanu and McCormick moving from the right side to the left, Anderson at RG and Cook at RT. Campen emphasizes live repetitions and communication to build cohesion.
Source & context ↗Fantasy connection: Dowdle returned after the toe issue. Pittsburgh’s limited offensive production remains distinct from his next-game medical status.
Sample: 972 classified 2025 regular-season plays, all game states. Dropbacks (60.8%) include sacks and scrambles; designed runs exclude scrambles.

Reading the numbers: The 2025 column retains its historical regular-season sample. Week 2 actuals describe the completed 2026 game. No Week 3 forecast is supplied.
Target share: player targets / all recorded team targets. Carry share: player rush attempts / team rush attempts (including QB runs/kneels). Red-zone and goal-line share: player targets + rush attempts inside the opponent 20 / 5 divided by the corresponding team total. Null means unverified, not zero. Preliminary statistics may be corrected.
Week 2 snap counts are available for all 32 teams. Route participation and targets per route remain unverified. Unavailable is not zero.

Jack Driscoll is on Reserve/Injured — Designated for Return. Practice-squad line depth: Doug Nester and Steven Jones. The chart does not list a separate LT reserve; September 11 reporting confirms Cook has practiced there. Broderick Jones was traded to Dallas August 30. Week 1 inactive OL: Gennings Dunker. This does not establish Week 2 availability.

Availability: Active means on the named game-day roster, not a snap guarantee. Inactive means not playing in that named game. Emergency QB has conditional entry restrictions. Available means not carrying a current out, doubtful or questionable designation in the checked evidence; it does not establish final game-day active status. Pending means clearance for the upcoming game is unconfirmed. Reserve and practice-squad players have distinct roster restrictions. Elevated means added for the specified game.
Practice squad: Travis Homer (RB); Lew Nichols (RB); Max Hurleman (WR); Brandon Johnson (WR); Brandon Smith (WR); Lake McRee (TE). A practice-squad listing does not establish a game-day elevation.
