Dulac: Okorafor’s Outburst Against Jags Centered Around Frustration With Same Run Plays Being Called

There’s been an overall frustration with the offense of the Pittsburgh Steelers through the first eight games of the season, from the media and fans. And now, it seems like some players have expressed their frustrations.

According to a report from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac, veteran right tackle Chukwuma Okorafor was upset with the Steelers calling the same run plays in the Week 8 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, leading to a sideline outburst late in the 20-10 loss. That ultimately led to his benching in Week Nine for rookie Broderick Jones, and now seems to have him on the bench for good.
