Veteran defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day knows what the top – and bottom – of the mountain feels like. A two-time Super Bowl champion for the Los Angeles Rams, Joseph-Day’s spent the past two years with a Tennessee Titans team that finished last in its division. After signing a two-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Joseph-Day is happy to think about winning again.

” I just wanna win games again,” Joseph-Day told reporters during a Monday press conference via the team’s YouTube channel. “It’s been a little different two years for me. Nothing but love for Tennessee at all the two years over there. I went from winning so much. I went to being in playoffs, I think, six years…to kind of going on a little skid.

“I think it’s really been humbling because I got to see the duality of it both. Both of the things that you do to win, and the things that obviously don’t help you win games. I just wanna get back on that. I wanna get back on that winning path and do whatever it takes to do that.”

Joseph-Day experienced football’s ultimate goal as a rookie, winning a Super Bowl with the Rams in 2018. He didn’t suit up for the game, inactive for it and all the others of his rookie season, but he earned a ring for it. Joseph-Day added a second in 2021, appearing in seven regular-season games and picking up snaps in the Rams’ Super Bowl win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

That success can create a distorted picture of how hard it is to win in the NFL. His past two seasons served as a reality check. Combined, the Titans won six games with Joseph-Day’s Januarys focusing on vacation plans instead of playoff schedules.

He now joins a Steelers team that hasn’t had a losing season since 2003 and is coming off success by global NFL standards.

“I’m just excited to win games. Just to win games,” he said. “[Pittsburgh] won their conference last year. It’s just exciting that we have such a[n] amazing roster before I even got here.”

It was the Steelers’ first division crown since 2020. A run plugger, Joseph-Day will bolster a defensive line group led by Cam Heyward and also featuring emerging players like Keeanu Benton, Derrick Harmon, and Yahya Black.

Pittsburgh’s biggest sore spot is failure to win a playoff game, going without since 2016. But Joseph-Day is banking on being competitive come the regular season’s final stretch and helping the cause to get Pittsburgh over the postseason hump.
