Last week, George Pickens said that the “dam is already kind of breaking,” and that he thought Pittsburgh’s offense was due for a breakout. On Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Steelers put up their best offensive performance of the season with two touchdowns and they beat the Chargers 20-10. Pickens said today that he was talking about the running game when he mentioned the dam breaking, and that opened up explosive plays for the offense.
“The running game, that’s really what I meant by when I said that. … When the dam broke, there wasn’t very much they could do and then that opened up explosive plays for [Calvin Austin] and Scotty [Miller],” Pickens said via Aaron Becker of Yardbarker on Twitter.
