Although the first two games were bad, there seemed to be a sense of growth around the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense over the last few weeks. In their last three wins the unit was much better, particularly against the run.
Unfortunately, that progress came to a screeching halt when they were walked up and down the field by the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense. Patrick Queen thinks his unit got complacent with their progress, and that they didn’t expect the Bengals to run the ball as often as they did.
“I don’t think we were physical enough,” Queen said Monday via Steelers.
