The Pittsburgh Steelers, statistically, have the best run defense in the league right now. Although it’s a very small sample size over just three games, they have only allowed 162 yards on the ground so far, or 38 yards fewer than the next-closest team, the Seattle Seahawks, who have given up a record 1292 passing yards over the same span.
Their 2.7 yards per rushing attempt is also the lowest in the NFL after limiting the likes of Saquon Barkley and David Johnson to a pittance on the ground, although Melvin Gordon had a bit more success early on in week two.
