Ryan Clark: Steelers’ Defense Doesn’t ‘Get To Live Off Of’ Team’s History

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had several dominant defenses in their illustrious history. That began in the 1970s, and they’ve carried that tradition to today. The Steelers still put a lot of pride in their defense. However, that unit has been disappointing this season. It’s got a lot of talent, but it hasn’t lived up to expectations. Ryan Clark called on the Steelers’ defense to step up ahead of their Week 8 game against the Green Bay Packers.

“When you let Chase Brown, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, [Andrei] Iosivas, when you let those people do what they did to you last week, they stole something from you,” Clark said Friday on ESPN’s First Take.
