Despite Offensive Issues, Mike Tomlin ‘Continually Encouraged’ By Components Of Run Game

If there’s at least one positive to come out of the last two performances by the offense of the Pittsburgh Steelers, it’s the improvement that the run game component within the offense has shown.

Heading into the 2022 season, the Steelers made it an emphasis to get back to running the football at a consistent level, providing the offense some balance. Week 1 against Cincinnati that wasn’t quite the case, but in Weeks 2 and 3, the Steelers showed some real life in the ground game, both from a running back and offensive line perspective.

Against the New England Patriots in Week 2, the Steelers rushed for 91 yards on 22 carries.
