T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. The “name” pass rushers who populate the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense, both had huge performances in a 26-18 Monday night win over the New York Giants. There aren’t too many reporters asking offensive lineman about matching up against Isaiahh Loudermilk.
But it was Loudermilk, of all people, who played a key role in CB Beanie Bishop Jr.’s game-sealing interception to secure the win. New York put together a promising final drive, marching down to the Steelers’ 35-yard line.
With tired legs, the Steelers put in their backup front. Jeremiah Moon and Ade Ogundeji on the EDGEs with Loudermilk – and starter Larry Ogunjobi – at defensive tackle.
