It's been a truly ugly start to the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers' vaunted defense. 32.5 points allowed per game, 149.5 rushing yards allowed per game, and just three sacks in two games is a huge fall from grace for the usually stout unit.
Injuries have played a part in their struggles, with first-round pick Derrick Harmon missing his first two career games. Joey Porter Jr., DeShon Elliott, and Nick Herbig have also now missed time due to injury.
In their disappointing 31-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, they lost two more defenders to high ankle sprains.
