The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has been historic to start 2025. Just not in the way any of the players or fans had hoped. They’ve given up 30-plus points in back-to-back games for the first time in over two decades. They’ve given up nearly 300 yards on the ground over the two games.
This is not what anyone expects out of the Steelers. The defense is part of Pittsburgh’s DNA. And yet through two weeks, they have shown no sign of improvement. In fact, they’re making the same mistakes over and over again. They aren’t playing physical football and are letting their opponents dictate the game.
