Everybody knows the score by know when it comes to Pittsburgh Steelers center Cody Wallace. We know why he’s playing in the first place, and we know what type of player he is when he is on the field, so there’s no sense in belaboring the backstory.
In light of the full arc of his first full season of playing time, Wallace’s showing against the Bengals would certainly be fairly construed as a positive development, and he has generally been on an upward trajectory since the Steelers came off their bye week.
Late on the offense’s opening drive, for instance, he pancaked Bengals defensive lineman Wallace Gilberry, typically an end who was playing inside.
