The Pittsburgh Steelers are 2-1, but their defense has struggled to start the 2025 season. While you may have expected the 2-1 record, you probably didn’t expect the Steelers to underperform early in the season.
However, we definitely saw some flashes of better play last Sunday against the New England Patriots. The run defense was much better, at least against the Patriots’ running backs. And the defense forced five turnovers in the Steelers’ 21-14 win.
“Now that we’re starting to get those game snaps under our belt, kinda see us getting a little bit better,” DC Teryl Austin said Thursday, per video from reporter Cassidy Wood on X/Twitter.
