One thing was very clear entering the 2024 season. The Pittsburgh Steelers wanted to be a physical, run-first football offense.
They brought in Arthur Smith, known for his high run rates as an offensive coordinator, and they selected offensive linemen with their first two picks of the 2024 NFL Draft. Mike Tomlin said that weekend that their goal is to roll people.
Through the first two games, their rushing attack has been okay, but not the dominant force that many hoped it would be given the offseason changes. The Steelers rank 12th in the NFL with 139 rushing yards per game.
