It’s no secret the Pittsburgh Steelers have to shut down the Dallas Cowboys’ run game. It’s the best in the league with a top five back and the best offensive line. At center for them is Terrence Frederick, also one of the league’s top at his position, challenging the rookie Hargrave. It’s a far cry from his days in the MEAC.
If the Steelers can make Dallas one-dimensional, put the game in the hands of their rookie, it’s going to increase the chance for splash plays. And that’s what this defense needs.
