The Pittsburgh Steelers put 684 yards up on the ground over the course of the first five weeks of the season, averaging 136.8 yards per game. That was the ninth-most in the NFL out of all teams through their first five games of the season—and everybody outside of the top five that was ahead of them was all bunched in together.
Not only that, but they were running efficiently and effectively, averaging 4.3 yards per attempt and with seven rushing scores. That was tied for the ninth-most touchdowns, though they ranked a bit ahead of the middle of the pack in yards per carry.
