Given the manner in which the Pittsburgh Steelers have performed running the ball for what at this point is the majority off the season, the effort that we got out of Benny Snell last night against the Cincinnati Bengals has to amount to something of a minor success at the very least.
The second-year running back recorded 84 yards on the ground on 18 carries, which included a long gain of 29 yards, their first explosive rushing play that I can recall in a while. He also had a one-yard touchdown pass. The good majority of his carries were successful runs, as well, certainly one of the highest percentages that we have seen in a while.
