Teryl Austin Expects Opponents To Run Football ‘Until We Show We Can Stop the Run’

Through the first two weeks of the 2023 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense has struggled to stop the run.

Granted, it’s come against two of the best rushing attacks in football in San Francisco and Cleveland, led by elite running backs Christian McCaffrey and Nick Chubb, but it’s a glaring issue for the Steelers defensively once again.

It won’t get any easier on Sunday Night Football in Las Vegas against Raiders standout running back Josh Jacobs.

Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin expects teams to continue to run against the Steelers until the defense shows it can stop the run.
