For most of 2024, the Pittsburgh Steelers had one of the best defenses in the NFL. However, things changed toward the end of the year. The Steelers defense went from a strength to a weakness. That unit got bullied on the ground, being a big reason why the Steelers lost their final four regular season games of the year. After the pass rush’s struggles last year, T.J. Watt says that unit is focused on delivering more impact plays.
“My first couple years, we were always at the top,” Watt said of the Steelers’ sack total Tuesday via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s YouTube channel.
