The Pittsburgh Steelers’ rushing attack made strides during the last game. Today, I wanted to look at, in context, Pittsburgh’s run scheme this season compared to Week 4. That game featured the best rushing total (131 yards) of 2025 despite starter Jaylen Warren not playing.
Even so, the Steelers ran the ball 29 times, tied for 14th last week, compared to tying for 23rd on the year. RB Kenneth Gainwell was particularly successful, nearly having a 100-yard day, and the offensive line definitely played better.
Some explainers before we dive deeper. The run types in this article are zone and power.
