Five seasons have already passed in Todd Gurley's career, but the Los Angeles Rams running back has not squared off against the Pittsburgh Steelers not even once.
He now gets a crack at Pittsburgh as his team is set to meet them this Sunday. And as a kid from Baltimore, MD, Gurley would love nothing more than to make Steelers fans cry in frustration as he beats them.
Rams Wire's Cameron DaSilva recounted Gurley's eagerness to play his first game against the Steelers.
“I grew up a Ravens fan, so I never liked the Steelers,” Gurley said during his press conference Thursday. “I’m looking forward to it, it’s like one of those places like Green Bay, Dallas, Chicago, Pittsburgh – those are like the main teams to start the NFL. To be able to go up there and play against a good team, you’ve got great players in James Conner and JuJu (Smith-Schuster), Mark (Barron), Bud Dupree. Minkah (Fitzpatrick) has been balling out ever since he got traded to them. Joe Haden has been in this league for a long time. I’m looking forward to going up there and playing against a hard-nosed defense. That’s always been their philosophy to be all about the ball and all about defense. Should be a fun game.”
He hasn't had the best season of his career so far, notching only 355 rushing yards in seven starts. However, fans will be hoping that Gurley will be motivated to perform against the Steelers and finish with a spectacular individual effort.
