It would surely be going too far to call the Pittsburgh Steelers’ efforts on the ground today a smashing success. However, it was a clear and obvious improvement upon what they have managed in recent weeks, having been held to under 50 yards in three straight games, with rather sub-par efficiency numbers to attest to the fact that it wasn’t just because they weren’t trying.
On the day, with the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the offense did top 100 yards on the ground for the first time in five weeks, though it took them 27 carries to get to 109 yards, coming in just shy of four yards per carry.
