The Pittsburgh Steelers’ rushing attack has been inconsistent this season, especially in recent weeks. The Steelers ran for just 56 yards in their Week 15 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, and their issues on the ground usually come when they can’t get going early. If they start slow on the ground, they usually can’t find sustained success throughout the game. Speaking to the media today, offensive coordinator Arthur Smith compared the ground game to an “old pickup truck” that needs to crank the engine to get going.
“We’re like an old pickup truck,” OC Arthur Smith told reporters today via 93.
