Rushing attempts goes hand-in-hand with passing attempts. We witnessed the effect the limited passing game had on the Steelers ability to run the ball. The number of attempts/game actually increased to 25 from 22 in 2018, likely a result of poor QB play. It would still be wise to ramp up the attempts in 2020 simply to take some pressure off Roethlisberger and keep defenses guessing.
