Commitment to the run game pays off

For two straight seasons, Pittsburgh found ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in part because they completely abandoned the run game. But the Chiefs and Niners showed us that not only can you be successful in running the football but you can do it without a big paycheck running back. A case can be made the Steelers have more talent at running back and offensive line than either of the teams in the Super Bowl but never showed it in 2019.
