7 gut reactions from the Pittsburgh Steelers week 3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles:
1 – Guard David DeCastro had a tough day on Sunday. The blocked field goal on the Steelers first drive came through DeCastro’s gap. He also gave up back to back sacks in the third quarter, the second sack caused Ben Roethlisberger to fumble and the Eagles recovered the ball.
2 – The Steelers showed how thin they are depth-wise on defense. The injuries piled up today and it was apparent. With both Steelers middle linebackers, Ryan Shazier and Lawrence Timmons injured, as well as safety Robert Golden, the middle of the Steelers defense went from a strength to a weakness in a matter of a quarter.
