Even though James Conner was unable to suit up for the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the team still fielded a platoon of running backs whose numbers climbed up to four, with all of them contributing in meaningful ways.
Over the course of 74 offensive snaps, Benny Snell proved to be the ‘lead’ back, logging 36, which was just under half. Jaylen Samuels also saw work on 22 snaps, with Trey Edmunds seeing 12 snaps and newcomer Kerrith Whyte getting seven high-impact plays.
As a group, the four of them totaled 154 yards of rushing on the ground over 34 carries, an average of 4.
