Many in the national media are turning a cold shoulder to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ chances this season. But not all of them. Some, like NFL Network’s Bucky Brooks, believes the Steelers remain strong AFC contenders. He joined NFLN’s Andrew Siciliano to offer his thoughts on the black and gold.
“I have to buy the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Brooks explained. “Because one thing that we know that they have is they have an elite defense. That defense has played at an outstanding level and that defense can carry the load.”
The Steelers’ defense should be the stronger unit of the two sides even after the losses of Bud Dupree, Mike Hilton, and Steven Nelson along with Vince Williams’ recent retirement.
