While the offensive line is typically seen as the meat and potatoes of a good running game, you could say that the tight ends are the seasoning that help turn a standard dish into more satisfying meal. On Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight ends were the garnish for James Conner, featuring on some of the longest runs of the game.
The offense took a while to get going, but by the two-minute warning they were sitting just outside the red zone on first and 10. On the play, Vance McDonald worked to the second level and pushed linebacker Jamie Collins out of position as Conner picked up 10 yards.
