Games are won and lost in the trenches, and fortunately for the Pittsburgh Steelers they have a strong defensive front to help win a lot of games each and every season.
In fact, with the likes of T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Cameron Heyward and the emerging young tandem of Nick Herbig and Keeanu Benton, the Steelers have one of the league’s very best defensive fronts in football.
Based on rankings from OL and DL guru Brandon Thorn for “Establish The Run” Thursday afternoon, the Steelers have the second-best defensive front in football, just behind the New York Jets in the elite category.
