The Pittsburgh Steelers currently sit 14th in the NFL with 250 rushing yards through two games, averaging, of course, 125 yards on the ground per game. They’ve gotten 100-yard games out of both Benny Snell and James Conner so far. They are averaging 4.8 yards per carry, are one of five teams with three or more explosive runs, and are doing this in spite of the fourth-lowest first-down percentage via the run. They also have the most fumbles on rushes.
In other words, while the running game has done its job for the most part, especially when it has been needed most—outside of a 3rd-and-1 stop near the goal line—there is still room for improvement, which is the sentiment that head coach Mike Tomlin expressed earlier today during his pre-game press conference.
