Running back Arian Foster has 513 yards with five touchdowns and is averaging 4.8 yards per carry.

Against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, the Steelers were down 21-3 at the half and ended up taking a 31-10 loss. They had 359 offensive yards in that game, but they were just 6-for-16 on their third down chances.

Through six games, the Steelers are sixth in the NFL with 396.5 passing yards per game, but they have only been able to score 20.7 points per game. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has thrown for 1,593 yards this season with eight touchdowns and three interceptions. Roethlisberger's top target has been veteran Antonio Brown, who has 41 receptions for 629 yards and five scores.
