Canada Looking For More Opportunities To Jump-Start Run Game

In the Steelers’ 23-20 OT win over the defending AFC Champion Bengals last Sunday, one could take away many positives, such as the tenacious play of the defense, while also taking away some negatives, like the injury to star T.J. Watt. Another ugly thing was the performance of the running game, which produced a meager 75 yards as a team, and only 23 for Pro Bowl running back Najee Harris, on only 10 totes. For a team with a game manager at the helm such as Mitch Trubisky, they absolutely need to get more out of the ground attack, and Offensive Coordinator Matt Canada echoed these sentiments earlier today.
