The man named Canada created plays for the Canadian. That’s the story of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ run game Sunday. The effective part, anyway. Pittsburgh’s run game sputtered and stalled for much of the game, the first half spent without Najee Harris after he suffered an elbow injury on the Steelers’ first series.
Aside from a late-run by Harris, the run game did very little. So Canada reached deep into his callsheet and called upon Claypool, who acted more like a running back than a receiver in this game. Claypool led the Steelers in rushing with three carries for 33 yards and a team-long of 17.
