It’s 2nd and 11.
And the offense runs the football.
It’s a playcall that can infuriate most fans. If you felt that way all too often last year, you’re right. The Pittsburgh Steelers were among the worst offenders in running the ball on 2nd and 10+ doing so 34.1% of the time, 42 of 123 plays. That was tied for 7th most in the league.
Here are the top ten “leaders” in 2nd and long runs in 2019.
| Minnesota Vikings | 48.3% |
| Baltimore Ravens | 41. |
