PITTSBURGH -- Terrell Watson's average of 2.0 yards per carry doesn't jump off the page, but his success rate does.

The Steelers' new short-yardage back has four carries, but the last three have gone for third-down conversions, including a third-and-3 play on the first drive in Kansas City on Sunday.

Two weeks earlier in Baltimore, Watson got 1 yard on a third-and-1. The week before that in Chicago, 3 yards on a third-and-1.

He gets the picture.

"Don't jinx me," Watson joked after a practice this week about his 3-for-3 streak.
