The Pittsburgh Steelers are now 7-6, thankfully coming off a divisional win against the Baltimore Ravens. There were certainly encouraging developments in that game. But one element that left more to be desired was the run game.
Looking with a broad lens, Pittsburgh had just 34 rushing yards, their least in a victory against Baltimore for quite some time. Yes, offenses should avoid running into a brick wall against stout run defenses. Pittsburgh was quite shy in their willingness to stick with the run, with just 17 attempts (second-least in 2025), despite the Ravens being a middling run defense in several stats on the year.
