After a rough first showing in the tackling department in the first week of the preseason against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Pittsburgh Steelers really cleaned it up in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Pittsburgh’s starting defensive unit missed just one tackle, and that came when Bud Dupree shot into the backfield off of the edge and just missed bringing down rookie Darwin Thompson for a tackle for loss.
Aside from Dupree’s miss, no player projected to be a starter missed a tackle in extended action, which is a great sign of things to come moving forward.
