When Jaylen Warren was inactive for their Week 4 game against the Minnesota Vikings the Pittsburgh Steelers did panic. On SPORTSLINE with George Von Benko, Steelers right tackle Troy Fautanu broke down why Pittsburgh’s running backs are more than capable of stepping up. He called it a “three-headed monster” backfield, and that’s exactly how the Steelers see it.
“We didn’t blink an eye when they told us Jaylen was inactive because we knew Kenny Gainwell was going to step in and do more than enough,” Fautanu said.
Gainwell’s breakout performance in Dublin highlighted the Steelers’ ability to keep the ground game rolling without Warren.
