2019 frustrated a lot of Steelers Nation. No one foresaw a Super Bowl run after Ben went down, but we still expected more from the offense than we got. Handicapped, yes. Comatose with occasional twitches, no. After all, James Conner had gone to the Pro Bowl in 2018. So they had the wheels. The offensive line remained uninjured, so they had the engine. Surely the team could compensate for the missing driver by leaning more on the run. Right?
Nope.
First Conner got injured, and even when he limped back on the field you could see that he needed help to make the first tackler miss.
