I’ve already previewed the running game matchup of the upcoming Week 5 contest between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Jacksonville Jaguars and now I have a few more interesting stats to pass along to you from our weekly game charting.
As I mentioned in the early post, the Steelers defense has allowed 12 running back runs longer than 10 yards through four games. 11 of those runs, however, came against the Steelers base 3-4 defense personnel. In fact, including all rushes and quarterback scrambles, the Steelers 3-4 defensive personnel grouping has allowed 310 rushing yards on 57 carries, an average yards per carry of 5.
