The Pittsburgh Steelers escaped MetLife Stadium with a 34-32 Week 1 win over the New York Jets, but it was a very un-Steelers-like win. The defense struggled, allowing New York to put up 30+ points and run for 182 yards, a performance that was nowhere near good enough. On The Richard Sherman podcast, CB Darius Slay said that the Steelers know they have a lot to work on defensively.
“Even though the world love to see offense score points, as a defense, no one wants to see two teams score 30 points. You don’t win championships like that.
