Veteran defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day knows what the top \u2013 and bottom \u2013 of the mountain feels like. A two-time Super Bowl champion for the Los Angeles Rams, Joseph-Day\u2019s spent the past two years with a Tennessee Titans team that finished last in its division. After signing a two-year deal<\/a> with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Joseph-Day is happy to think about winning again.<\/p>\n

\u201d I just wanna win games again,\u201d Joseph-Day told reporters during a Monday press conference via the team\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/a> \u201cIt\u2019s 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\u2026to kind of going on a little skid.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s 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\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joseph-Day experienced football\u2019s ultimate goal as a rookie, winning a Super Bowl with the Rams in 2018. He didn\u2019t 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\u2019 Super Bowl win over the Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s Januarys focusing on vacation plans instead of playoff schedules.<\/p>\n

He now joins a Steelers team that hasn\u2019t had a losing season since 2003 and is coming off success by global NFL standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just excited to win games. Just to win games,\u201d he said. \u201c[Pittsburgh] won their conference last year. It\u2019s just exciting that we have such a[n] amazing roster before I even got here.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the Steelers\u2019 first division crown since 2020. A run plugger,<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh\u2019s 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\u2019s final stretch and helping the cause to get Pittsburgh over the postseason hump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Veteran defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day knows what the top \u2013 and bottom \u2013 of the mountain feels like.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":816859,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2061],"tags":[7,58,6,57,12134,526,394,2411,527],"class_list":{"0":"post-816858","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennessee-titans","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-los-angeles-rams","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-pittsburgh-steelers","12":"tag-sebastian-joseph-day","13":"tag-tennessee","14":"tag-tennessee-titans","15":"tag-tennesseetitans","16":"tag-titans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116244177454368069","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=816858"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816858\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/816859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=816858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=816858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=816858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
