With the NFL season almost halfway over, there are still a lot of questions about the Pittsburgh Steelers. While they’re atop of AFC North, it’s anyone’s guess whether they’ll be actual contenders come playoff time. At times, the Steelers have looked great, with their offense and defense complementing each other. However, in their latest game, they looked more like pretenders than contenders. Their defense got pushed around in a 33-31 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, and Pete Prisco thinks age is the reason for that unit’s struggles.
“I didn’t think they were fool’s gold until the other day when that defense was horrible,” Prisco said Monday on the 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe podcast.
