There are two things we know about the Pittsburgh Steelers under head coach Mike Tomlin. He loves to run the ball and he wants a dominating defense. The Steelers finished top 10 in DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) last season. Can they do it again?

CBSSports.com’s Jared Dubin sees it as “Somewhat Likely” in his ranking of which defenses are likely to be top 10 in 2024. He acknowledges that the Steelers almost always find a way with players like T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, and Cam Heyward. He just has questions elsewhere on the defense.

“The Steelers should be able to break into the top 10 again,” Dubin wrote.
