The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense was a disaster in the team’s 33-31 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last week, and DL Cameron Heyward opened up about the defense’s struggles on his Not Just Football podcast. Heyward broke down what went wrong across the board for the defense on Thursday Night Football.
“We get a good start, 10-0 to start the game, and then they rip off two big runs. And I feel like it really opened up their offense to feel more comfortable. In the run game, we didn’t get off blocks well enough, we didn’t stay in our gaps, and then we didn’t tackle that well.
