Dowdle was out-paced by Jaylen Warren in his Steelers debut, as the former Panthers star totaled just 15 yards while averaging 1.9 yards per carry. That should allow Warren to maintain the edge in Pittsburgh's backfield rotation, which will already have enough trouble getting going against a Patriots defense that ranks 10th in defensive EPA per play against the run this year, per the NFL's Next Gen Stats.
