‘Failure Through Coaching’: Former Steelers OL Frustrated With Lack Of Second-Half Run Game

Heading into halftime of Sunday night’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers, the Pittsburgh Steelers were rolling on offense.

They had just capped off a drive with a 2-yard strike from quarterback Aaron Rodgers to wide receiver DK Metcalf to take a 16-7 lead, and in the process, had really started to establish a great run game with running backs Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell.

At the half with a nine-point lead, the Steelers had rushed for 81 yards on 15 carries, averaging a healthy 5.4 yards per carry.

But then in the second half, that run game disappeared, largely due to play calling.
