If there was one thing that everybody thought the Pittsburgh Steelers would be able to do against the Indianapolis Colts, it was run the ball. The Steelers’ rushing attack entered the week with the 12th most yards in the league. It hasn’t been overly efficient, but they were still managing 130.7 yards per game, and the Colts were allowing the most rushing yards per game in the league with 179.0.

Najee Harris in particular was rushing for 69.7 yards per game. Not the greatest totals, but also much better than his first three games a season ago. That all changed in Week 4 with 13 carries for 19 yards for Harris.
