The Pittsburgh Steelers defense started the 2020 season much like it ended the 2019 season, pressuring the quarterback and forcing turnovers. While in 2019 the team was one of the best pass defense teams in the NFL, the 2020 Steelers have focused on run defense more in the first three games of the season and are currently the best run defense team in the NFL. The results are similar, even if some of the details are a bit different.
Some of the standout players from 2019 don’t look like the same players early on in 2020, while some other players who have been role players in the past are looking like stars.
