Through the first three weeks of the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t tackled all that well. They missed 28 combined tackles against the New York Jets, Seattle Seahawks, and New England Patriots. Barely more than nine misses per game wasn’t anything to be overly concerned about. But for a highly-paid defense, they needed to be better.
In Week 4 at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, the Steelers were much better in the tackling department. Great, even.
The Steelers missed just two tackles against the Vikings, setting an all-time best mark for fewest missed tackles in a game since I started tracking the data here at Steelers Depot in 2016.
