At this point in the season, it’s entirely unclear what version of the Pittsburgh Steelers we’re going to see from week to week, especially on defense. One week, they look like world beaters against the Indianapolis Colts and Cincinnati Bengals. The next week, they can’t stop anybody and look entirely overmatched.
That was the case on Sunday at Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears. The Steelers had no real answers for Chicago’s passing attack, and after the 31-28 loss to the Bears to fall to 6-5 on the season, linebacker Patrick Queen raised some questions about the defensive scheme.
