Through the first two games of the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2025 season, their proud identity as a defensive powerhouse looked to be in danger. The New York Jets put up 32 points and nearly 400 yards against them in Week 1, and the Seahawks moved the ball with ease against them in Week 2.
Many fans and analysts (including myself, to be fair) wondered if age and years of carrying the team to wins had finally caught up with them. They added plenty of new talent to help aging stars T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward, but many of those new faces were older players themselves.
