As we continue to decompress following the conclusion of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2015 season, there is still plenty of material for us to go throw as we reflect and take stock of what we witnessed on the field last year, and it is a process that will carry out through much of the offseason.
We have previously looked at how the Steelers used their different offensive formations, for example, and how the team performed on third-and-short situations, and, most recently, broke down the impact of a fullback to the team’s running game.
Today, we will be taking a look at the Steelers’ short-yardage and goal-line running game as a whole, which, at a distance, appeared to be largely successful over the course of the season, but it is best to let the numbers make that declaration rather than relying merely on the ‘eye’ test.
