The Pittsburgh Steelers are in need of players to step up with Cameron Heyward missing a couple of months due to injury along the defensive line. They got some volunteers last night, with some of their youngest linemen making plays. DeMarvin Leal got his first career sack last week. On Sunday night, it was rookie second-round pick Keeanu Benton getting his first under his belt.
Late in the third quarter, just as the Las Vegas Raiders pushed into field goal range, Benton won easily right up the middle and brought down QB Jimmy Garoppolo in impressive fashion. On the very next play, he induced a holding penalty on Donald Parham, which set up a second-and-24.
