It’s become something of a cardinal sin for an NFL offense to run the ball on 2nd and 10. A low-efficiency play that too often sets up 3rd and long. So if it’s a sin, send Randy Fichtner to confession. According to this chart, the Pittsburgh Steelers had the 5th highest run rate on 2nd and 10+.

As you can tell, they were among the NFL’s least efficient too.
