The vibes surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers through two games this season are questionable at best, and much of the reason for that has been a disturbingly porous defense. They have allowed 31.5 points per game and nearly 400 yards per game through two weeks, both near the bottom of the NFL.
For an organization that prides itself on being a dominant force on that side of the ball, these results are unacceptable. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin is squarely in the line of fire due to the rough start, and he is in serious danger of joining a long list of failed defensive minds across the NFL.
