Bills RB James Cook said after Buffalo dominated the Steelers in the run game that their gameplan going in involved attacking the cornerbacks. While they did bounce runs to the perimeter frequently, the Bills did find success between the tackles, too. On Thursday, Steelers DC Teryl Austin offered a defense of his cornerbacks against the run.
“To put it on all the corners would probably not be the right thing to do”, he said, via transcript provided by the Steelers’ media department. “There are a lot of things that go into making up a big play and how a big play happens, and so it was a little bit of everything”.
