The Pittsburgh Steelers have been one of the most successful teams in the NFL over the past decade, largely due to their prolific running game led by the dynamic duo of Le\u2019Veon Bell and James Conner. But as the Steelers prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, they\u2019ll have to contend with an old nemesis in the form of Pro Bowl defensive tackle Brandon Williams.<\/p>\n
Williams, who has been with the Ravens since 2013, has been a thorn in the side of the Steelers\u2019 running game for years. In his six career games against Pittsburgh, Williams has recorded 20 tackles, three sacks, and two forced fumbles. He\u2019s also been a force against the run, holding opposing running backs to just 3.2 yards per carry.<\/p>\n
This season, Williams has been even more dominant. He\u2019s recorded a career-high 48 tackles and is tied for the team lead with four sacks. His ability to stuff the run has been a key factor in the Ravens\u2019 top-ranked rush defense, which is allowing just 82.3 yards per game.<\/p>\n
Williams will be looking to continue his success against the Steelers on Sunday. He\u2019ll be tasked with shutting down Pittsburgh\u2019s two-headed rushing attack of Bell and Conner, and if he\u2019s successful, it could be a long day for the Steelers\u2019 offense. Williams will be eager to make his presence felt in the trenches and prove that he\u2019s still one of the best defensive tackles in the league.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
