Steelers' Run-First Formula: Playoff Threat, but Super Bowl Ready?

Nobody has been able to stop Pittsburgh's rushing attack, and the run defense has been on a tear for the last five to six weeks. The analysis breaks down why that combination is so rare, with Jaylen Warren and Dowdle powering the ground game and a front seven led by T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig, Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton making opponents one dimensional. The verdict: the Steelers could win a playoff game or even two against quarterbacks like Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence. To string together a Super Bowl run, though, they need a more consistent passing offense.
