The Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss against the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday stung and still stings because it was a winnable game. The Steelers’ defense couldn’t shut the door when called upon on the Cowboys’ final drive, and the offense never got going, partly due to their poor rushing attack led by Najee Harris.
Former Steelers Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden were especially disappointed in Pittsburgh’s run game. Peterson pointed to it as one of the team’s key failings in the loss, a notion McFadden agreed with.
“It was so disappointing that we could not run the football like we thought we could do,” said McFadden on his All Things Covered podcast.
