The middle of the Steelers defense is looking shaky for their Week 8 matchup against the Ravens.
The Steelers have had arguably the best defense in the league over the first seven weeks of the season. Pittsburgh is currently 1st in total yards allowed per game (286.3) and 2nd in rushing yards allowed per game (68.8), according to Team Rankings. In addition, Mike Tomlin’s team is 6th in the NFL in points allowed per contest – surrendering just 19.7 per game to their opponents so far this season.
