The Pittsburgh Steelers had a tackling problem in Week 6 vs. the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football. Depending on where you get your statistics, the Steelers had at least double-digit missed tackles vs. the Seahawks.
It was bad. So bad the Steelers’ coaching staff was peppered with questions about how the team can work on these issues during their Week 7 bye week. When Mike Tomlin stepped in front of the media, he acknowledged, on his own accord, tackling was an issue.
“Our tackling needs to be sounder and surer.” Tomlin said.
