The Pittsburgh Steelers have played physical teams to start this season. The Los Angeles Chargers have proven to be one of the most physical teams in the league, and the Atlanta Falcons also tried to grind away at the Steelers by running the ball.

DeMarvin Leal believes they’re similar to those other teams, besides the consistency in their offensive line.
“I wouldn’t say different,” Leal said Wednesday via the team’s website. “I would just say that the offensive line, they’ve been together for three years, for a good amount of time, so that knowledge that they have, we’re gonna have to break them down bit by bit.
