While the Steelers' defense hasn’t looked great this year, they’re still good against the run and McFadden was still able to rip off at least one huge run.

When McFadden can get the running game going, it opens up opportunities for the rest of the offense to make plays. He is such a dangerous weapon that opposing defenses have to game plan for him.
