Nothing is better than starting the season undefeated. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, a 34-32 win over the New York Jets in Week 1 gave fans reason to celebrate. Aaron Rodgers engineered clutch drives, Chris Boswell drilled the game-winner, and Mike Tomlin’s squad found a way to pull through in the fourth quarter. But while the record shows 1-0, the tape tells a different story about Pittsburgh’s run defense.
Let’s be honest—182 rushing yards allowed is embarrassing for the highest-paid defense in football. T.J. Watt and his teammates struggled to wrap up Breece Hall, and even Justin Fields moved the chains with his legs.
