Falcons vs. Steelers: This week’s question mark is still the defense

Related Topics: Tyler Eifert, Question, Antonio Brown

The number of questions you could ask about this Falcons team is a mile long, to be blunt. The one that everyone should be fretting over heading into the week still concerns the defense.

That’s what happens when the biggest cause of your team’s current plight is so obvious. The Falcons have gotten out of their offensive rut in a big way, having rolled up 104 points in the last three weeks against defenses that are either on par or slightly stronger than what Pittsburgh can bring to the table this Sunday. Defensively, though, they’ve also allowed 104 points over that same span, which explains why they’re just 1-2 despite the outburst.
