Unlike last season, the Steelers are playing some of their best football of the year on defense entering the postseason. There are many reasons for that, but the players feel it, even though they know the work must continue. Especially with the Texans having one of the top defenses in the league, they know they have to match up. The good news is, they are playing with high levels of trust and confidence in one another.
“Absolutely”, Alex Highsmith said via the Steelers’ website when asked if the defense was operating with more trust.
