Running the football

As noted above, the Jets defense is really good. They hold teams to under 90 yards rushing per game. Meanwhile, the Steelers can barely muster 91 yards rushing per game. But this isn’t from lack of talent. If offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner can’t get things on track, the Steelers are going to once again struggle to score. Even the healthy return of James Conner last week couldn’t inspire Fichtner to use him.
