Games are won and lost in the trenches in the NFL, and right now the work the Pittsburgh Steelers are doing in the trenches defensively is helping them win games.
Up front, the Steelers have a good mix of stars and key role players, making for a formidable wall. Names like stars T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward, as well as key veterans in Alex Highsmith and Larry Ogunjobi, not to mention emerging rookie Keeanu Benton and solid depth piece Montravius Adams are playing some great football for the Steelers, helping them get to 5-3 on the season ahead of the midway point.
