The Pittsburgh Steelers put up 150-plus yards of rushing offense in four straight weeks, so even a step down to 130 felt somewhat significant. But they fell all the way down to just 82 yards in their last outing against the New England Patriots last week.
Running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren combined for just 40 yards on 19 carries, Harris going 12 for 29 and Warren 7 for 11. QB Mitch Trubisky’s 30 yards on scrambles plus a 12-yard end-around by WR Calvin Austin III provided more yards on the ground than did their running backs.
