For the first 12 games of the 2018 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense relied primarily on running back James Conner as the former third-round draft pick was responsible for roughly 75 percent of all run attempts up until that point in addition to playing roughly 80% of all offensive snaps. An ankle injury suffered by Conner during the team’s 12th game, however, resulted in then-rookie running back Jaylen Samuels needing to carry most of the running game load in the team’s next three contests and overall, he fared well in doing just that.
