Offense Finally Showing Close-Out Ability With Strong Running Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers have largely been a team of trends this season. They are the worst team in the league in the first quarter, and the best in the second. Today, they lost the first quarter 6-0, and won the second 14-0. So double check marks there.

One of the changes that they have made in recent weeks, however, has been the demonstration of the ability to close out games. They failed to do that in the season opener against the Cleveland Browns despite having a 14-point lead halfway through the fourth quarter. They bottomed out against the Baltimore Ravens and then even in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game that they won.
