Don’t look now, but the Pittsburgh Steelers’ young offensive line is starting to gel quickly, and is starting to move bodies in the run game.
On Sunday, that was on full display for the second straight week as the Steelers ran roughshod on the Broncos’ front seven, leading to a career day from rookie running back Najee Harris and easily the best output of the season — and one of the best in recent years — from the Steelers on the ground as a unit.
Speaking to the media after the 27-19 win over the Broncos at Heinz Field, rookie center Kendrick Green stated that he was pleased with the offensive line’s ability to wear down Denver’s front seven early and often, taking advantage in the second half drain the clock and run the ball successfully time and time again.
