The Pittsburgh Steelers have major issues on defense early in the season, and it's not just because of injuries. Though this unit has already seen Alex Highsmith, Joey Porter Jr., DeShon Elliott, and Isaiahh Loudermilk sidelined with soft tissue ailments, there are fundamental issues that must be cleaned up—none bigger than missed tackles.
Entering Week 3, the Steelers lead the NFL with a whopping 28 missed tackles, per advanced data from Pro Football Reference. This is an egregious number, especially when you consider the Los Angeles Rams haven't missed a single tackle in their first two games.
