When the Pittsburgh Steelers brought in Arthur Smith as their new offensive coordinator this offseason, most people assumed they were doubling down on the run game as the focus of their offense. And that’s true. They have the second-most rushing attempts in the NFL this season with 479. They are also just outside the top 10 in terms of yards with 1,890.
So opposing defenses know that the Steelers will be pounding the rock with running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. That’s what sticks out to Kansas City Chiefs LB Nick Bolton in terms of preparing for the Christmas Day matchup at Acrisure Stadium.
