You can read more about this in Sunday’s PG and on the website, but the Steelers aren’t the only team in the National Football League who can’t run the football.

The Browns are right up there with them. In fact, so are the other teams in the AFC North – the Ravens and Bengals.

All four are among the 11 teams in the league who average less than 4 yards per rush attempt, the number that is considered the acceptable standard in the NFL. The Ravens, who average 3.0 yards per attempt, are the worst of the four.

At its current pace, the number of teams who average less than 4 yards per attempt and less than 100 yards per game (11) would be the most since 2007.

Not only are teams, league-wide, running less; they are also running less efficiently.

Why? That’s what we will answer on Sunday.

And I will give you this snippet, too, just to illustrate how bad it has become for the Steelers:

Despite their emphasis on trying to run the ball more efficiently, they have not had a 100-yard rusher in 18 games, since Isaac Redman (remember him?) ran for 147 yards against the New York Giants in Week 8 last season. Not only is that the second longest drought in the league – Jacksonville has gone 23 games without a 100-yard rusher – it is the longest in 46 years in franchise history.

The last time the Steelers went a longer stretch without a 100-yard rusher was from 1968 to 1970 when they went through a 24-game drought. It ended when John Fugua rushed for 119 yards on Nov. 22, 1970 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
