From the article

Stevenson averaging just 2.8 yards per carry and the team averaging only 0.35 yards before contact per rush, one of the worst marks in the league. Still, both Stevenson and Henderson are capable receivers (the former had five grabs for 44 yards last week) meaning they could still make a big impact even if the run game falters for another week. Odds are that the Steelers will be trying to jar the ball loose on Sunday — a big part of Pittsburgh's win over New England wast year was a whopping four forced fumbles, including two from Stevenson.

Negative signalUsage

2.8 YPC in Week 1 despite 5 catches; Steelers forced 2 fumbles from him last year.

Stevenson took the bulk of carries in Week 1 but struggled significantly; he averaged just 2.8 yards per carry and the Patriots averaged only 0.35 yards before contact per rush, one of the worst marks in the league. He did catch 5 passes for 44 yards, showing he can make an impact as a receiver even if the run game falters. The Steelers forced four fumbles against New England last year, including two from Stevenson, and will likely try to jar the ball loose again.
