‘Haven’t Been The Steelers Of Old:’ Jerome Bettis Says Pittsburgh’s Lack Of Physicality Is A ‘Concern’

The NFL held a fan event in Dublin ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 4 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, and former Steelers RB Jerome Bettis was part of a panel that took questions. Bettis talked about this year’s Steelers’ team, a 2-1 team that hasn’t been the stifling defense that Steelers’ fans are used to, and Bettis said the team’s lack of physicality is a “concern.”

“The Steelers believe in being physical. That’s an area of concern right now. The Steelers haven’t been the Steelers of old,” Bettis said via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Jason Mackey.
