The Pittsburgh Steelers raved about their defense prior to the start of the season. They believed that unit had the chance to do great things. Unfortunately, it hasn’t met those expectations. The Steelers’ defense was awful to start the year, getting pushed around by the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks. However, since then, it’s gradually improved, including a solid Week 6 showing against the Cleveland Browns. DeShon Elliott believes the Steelers will eventually meet the high expectations they set for their defense.
“When we are a physical defense, we can’t be stopped,” Elliott said Sunday after the Steelers’ 23-9 win at Acrisure Stadium according to 93.
