Overview

• Rodgers publicly called for increased pass-game opportunities for Warren after the back’s standout catch-and-run against Seattle.
• Through two games, Warren has caught all six targets for 108 yards and a touchdown and has added 85 rushing yards on 25 carries.
• Pittsburgh’s rushing attack ranks near the bottom of the league with 53 and 72 yards in Weeks 1 and 2 and just one explosive run, a late 13-yarder by Kenneth Gainwell.
• Protection remains a concern with seven sacks allowed and four starting linemen graded below 60 by PFF after Week 2, even as Mike Tomlin and Rodgers express confidence in the unit.
• Usage remains split in the backfield, with Warren at 59 snaps and 31 touches to Gainwell’s 53 snaps and 18 touches, as the 1-1 Steelers visit the Patriots next before facing the Vikings.
