It's been an inauspicious start to the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the reasons why are plentiful. The highly-paid defense has been a turnstile against both the run and pass, the offense cannot move the ball on the ground, and the pass protection has left a 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers scrambling to avoid pressure.
That last point is maybe the most concerning. It would be surprising for Pittsburgh to remain nearly this bad on defense for the rest of the season, especially as they appear likely to face multiple backup quarterbacks over the next few contests.
