Updating our defensive charting numbers and metrics. Didn’t have time to do this last week but with the new 17-game season, this week is still roughly a halfway mark of the season, nine games into the year. We’ll revisit these numbers in a couple more weeks.
For now, let’s dive in.
– Excluding “no plays” due to penalty, the Steelers’ defense has logged 566 snaps this season. That puts them on pace to log 1069 this season. That is a lower pace than they were on after the first four weeks when they were on track to play 1092.
