Heading into week 5 is usually is a good point to take stock of the season, and see where the team stands compared to previous years. The 2020 season is a little different, with the Pittsburgh Steelers unexpected bye in week 4 meaning they have not yet finished the first quarter of their season.
The Steelers run game has stood out enough, though, that I wanted to look at where they rank against previous Steeler teams through 4 games, and just how high they could rank after their 4th game in recent franchise history.
James Conner currently has 224 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns on 40 carries, Conner’s best 4 game total was in 2018, when he had 63 carries for 232 yards and 3 touchdowns through the first quarter of the season.
