The Pittsburgh Steelers defense has played well so far this season on the way to the team compiling a perfect 6-0 record. Even so, the Steelers defensive unit is far from elite status entering their Week 8 road game against the Baltimore Ravens. In fact, it’s fair to say that the defense hasn’t quite lived up to full expectations so far this season.
While the Steelers current defensive ANY/A (Adjusted Net Yards Per Passing Attempt) stat after six games is 5.1, which is fourth-best in the NFL, it obviously should be even lower than that. After all, the Steelers defense has registered a league best 26 sacks in just six games played in addition to right total interceptions.
