For the past three seasons, the Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t been able to muster up a 1000 yard rusher. James Conner was close to hitting that mark in 2018 but he twisted an ankle against the Chargers, missed a couple games, and hey, math is math. He finished the year with 973 yards.
For a franchise built by the run game, three straight seasons without someone cracking four digits, 2018 to 2020, is uncommon. And if they go another year and make it four in a row, they’ll really be in rare territory. Since 1970, here are the Steelers’ longest 1000 yard droughts.
