The Pittsburgh Steelers’ running game is bad. Historically bad. You surely knew the first part. You might not know the second, though I imagine you could’ve guessed as much.
As we noted in yesterday’s stats of the weird, they’re on pace to rush for just 1297 yards as a team this season. Should that hold serve, that would be their fewest in a year, excluding the strike-shortened 1982 season, since 1966. That’s three years before Chuck Noll or Joe Greene would arrive on scene to lay the foundational pieces of the 70s dynasty.
