When Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting left guard BJ Finney exited Sunday’s win over the Baltimore Ravens early in the first quarter with a back injury, the Steelers’ depth in the trenches went from bad to worse as oft-traveled backup offensive lineman John Leglue was forced into action making his NFL debut.
For many, that was a scary notion as the Steelers’ offensive line was already playing poorly against a tough Ravens’ front, but Leglue stepped up to the plate and played well, especially down the stretch as the Steelers put up 17 fourth-quarter points to come back and beat the Ravens 20-19, keeping their slim playoff hopes alive.
