The Steelers ran the Tush Push for the first time on Sunday, with Connor Heyward as the so-called “quarterback”. It sounds like it won’t be the last time, either. After all, why not? They ran it with success, and it’s not like they haven’t had recent short-yardage issues.
Of course, QB Aaron Rodgers was actually on the field, but serving as a football player about as much as I was watching from home. Making the Tush Push a 10-man play puts the Steelers at a disadvantage compared to the Eagles. But if they can run it successfully, with Heyward, there’s not reason to stop it.
