Evolution. Not revolution. That’s how you can describe the Pittsburgh Steelers’ run game. Slowly but surely, the Steelers’ ground attack has trended in the right direction week-by-week. Talking with reporters Thursday, OC Matt Canada can see the progress.
“I think we’re still heading in the right direction,” Canada said via a team transcript. “What did we average? 3.8 yards a carry or something like that. We’re evolving.”
More specifically, Najee Harris’ stats show that growth. Week-by-week, his average has improved as the line has blocked better and Harris has potentially gotten healthier, or at least knocked some of the rust off after missing most of the summer with a foot sprain.
