The fact that the Steelers had to play from behind, too, made them more one-dimensional.
Patriots find a quick fix to their problems on run defense
FOXBORO -- Behind bruising runner Peyton Hillis, the Cleveland Browns gashed the Patriots on the ground a week ago to the tune of 230 yards on 44 carries — an average of 5.2 yards per carry, including an average of 6.3 yards every time Hillis was handed the ball. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
“That’s the best way to defend a running game — if you’re far enough ahead, it’s hard to have that patience and keep running the ball,” Belichick said.
“The six, seven, eight, however many guys are involved in a particular play in the running game, everybody has got to do their job,” head coach Bill Belichick said. “If seven of them do it and one doesn’t, there’s a gap for the runner and that’s where he’ll go. It’s everybody playing team defense and taking care of their run responsibilities, and, ultimately, tackling. Mendenhall is a good back, and so is Mewelde Moore. We had trouble tackling him a couple of times in the game. Part of it is being in position, and the other part is actually getting him on the ground.” [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]

Other than that 34-yard run and [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]’s improvised 12-yard scramble, the Steelers managed just 30 yards on 14 carries in the game. Part of the Steelers’ limited production had to do with the score — the Patriots took a 14-point lead early in the third quarter — but they still only attempted 11 designed run plays in the first half.
Just a week later, the Patriots limited the Pittsburgh Steelers — who were averaging 117.8 rushing yards per game this season — to 76 yards on the ground, including just seven rushing yards in the second half. Before Rashard Mendenhall broke off a 34-yard run around the right side late in the fourth quarter, the Steelers have managed just 17 yards on their first eight carries.
Cleveland,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], on the other hand, rushed 16 times in the first half before pouring it on in the second half to put the game away.
