Defense finding a pass rush will cure what ails Steelers

The Steelers defense did not come close to fooling Tom Brady Sunday, but did they fool most everyone else into believing they were really that good going into it?

Brady did not just carve up that defense, he had them hold the platter that contained their own carcass. Not only did he throw for 384 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, not one of Brady’s passes was broken up by a Steelers defender.

That’s the only time they went through a game this season without breaking up at least one pass — they had only one in that 34-3 clubbing they took in Philadelphia.
