The Steelers finished the 2019 season with the league's fifth-rated defense in terms of yards against. They were sixth in points allowed and led the league in sacks for the third consecutive season while also leading the way with 38 forced turnovers.
But in the NFL things never stay the same from one season to the next.
And with the loss of starting nose tackle Javon Hargrave in free agency, there is a feeling that perhaps the defense won't be quite as good in 2020.
That could be the case. It most certainly won't be the same.
