Through the first five weeks of the 2023 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ running game has been bad… and that’s putting it nicely.
They officially set a franchise record by not scoring a rushing touchdown in their first five games after failing to get into the end zone via a rushing score last Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, currently putting them with the Minnesota Vikings as the only two teams without a rushing score all year. The team ranks 30th in the league in rushing with the offensive line ranking near the bottom of the league as well according to Pro Football Focus, failing to live up to the expectations that this team had to start the season.
