Two weeks ago, in the Wildcard round, the Pittsburgh Steelers, having lost DeAngelo Williams and been thrust into a position of needing to rely upon the inexperienced and largely untested Fitzgerald Toussaint and Jordan Todman, broke with their convention and turned several times to a four-wide receiver set so that they could give their young backs a break on the sideline.
During the regular season, the Steelers only used either the 01 or 10 personnel—one tight end or one running back, respectively—on 13 snaps, with a bit over half of those reps involving no running back.
