Who would have thought around this time last year that the Pittsburgh Steelers would have a top 10 defense in 2019—and have a losing record through six games? Probably not many, but then it couldn’t have been foreseen that Antonio Brown would go insane and Ben Roethlisberger would be lost for the season after six quarters of play.
Nevertheless, that is the reality that they are living in. The Steelers defense legitimately is emerging as one of the best in the league, in terms of taking the ball away, in terms of getting after the quarterback, and in just general play, and becoming more consistent with each passing week.
