Pittsburgh Steelers – Find A Ground Game

For the Pittsburgh Steelers this week against the Baltimore Ravens, they are going to have to figure out a way to pick up yardage on the ground without Le’Veon Bell. He has turned into a star and one of the league’s best, and it won’t be easy for the Steelers to replace him.

There are three options that the Steelers have in the backfield this week, and they are Josh Harris, Ben Tate, and Dri Archer. Tate was just signed this past week, and should be given the first look by the Steelers. He has had a lot of experience, and showed glimpses of huge potential back in his days with the Houston Texans.

As for both Harris and Archer, they are both very unproven players. They are both rookies, and neither of them has picked up more than 50 rushing yards in their careers.

Pittsburgh’s rushing attack has been part of what has made their offense click all season long, and they will need one of these three guys to step up and establish a ground game this week.
