The Pittsburgh Steelers lost the rushing battle to the Dallas Cowboys in their 20-17 Week 5 loss, with Dallas running for 109 yards compared to 92 for the Steelers. While head coach Mike Tomlin attributed some of the run-game issues to the fact that Pittsburgh’s time of possession was limited due to Dallas converting on third down frequently, he said he wished the team did a better job controlling the ground game.
“I would like to have controlled the game more in that area, in enough possession downs and it was a limited possession game. So it probably didn’t develop, the run game I’m speaking of, probably didn’t develop in the ways that we would like,” Tomlin said Tuesday during his weekly press conference via the team’s YouTube channel.
