The Pittsburgh Steelers need to run the football better. That’s not some kind of open secret. It’s just a statement of fact. They are averaging 3.1 yards per rush and have the 31st-ranked rushing offense by yardage output through the first two weeks of the season.

Granted, they also have the second-fewest rushing attempts in that same time period, and that’s part of the problem, but regardless of the whys, what matters now are the hows. More specifically, how do they get better running the ball? Because that is what the entire offense, the entire team needs.

“I think the big part of that is running the ball, which obviously we haven’t done the first two weeks and will be the point of emphasis now and going forward”, C Mason Cole told reporters on Wednesday, via the team’s website.
