Steelers: Defense makes statement in win over 49ers

First off, I’m a defensive guy. I love good, hard hitting defense. So when the Steelers defense played the way they did today, I was all smiles.

Since their not-so-good performance against New England, the Steelers defense have had to hear about blown assignments, missed tackles, and everything in between. They went into their Week 2 matchup with some question marks.

How will they contain Kaepernick? When will Boykin play? Steelers fans were left with a more devastating question: Is the Steel Curtain dead?

That question was quickly answered in the Steelers 43-18 win over the 49ers.
