The Steelers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 19-16 on Sunday for their third victory in four games. Here, in my 3 & Out column, I look at their rapidly improving run game, how a host of self-inflicted wounds allowed Atlanta to hang around, and the punt of Pressley Harvin’s lifetime that closed the door on the Falcons.
Rock, pounded.
For those who yearn for the days when pounding the rock was king, this game was for you. The two teams combined for more total runs (65) than passes (53) and almost as many rushing yards (300) as passing yards (357).
