Two weeks in a row, things started out pretty well for the Pittsburgh Steelers defensively. Then, adversity struck, and the defense crumbled embarrassingly.
One week after getting shredded by the Joe Flacco-led Bengals’ offense, the Steelers had no answers for the Green Bay Packers’ offense. They particularly struggled in the second half of an ugly 35-25 loss.
Team captain Cameron Heyward stated last week how angry he was with the performance against Cincinnati. He’s not seeing enough fight from the group right now, particularly on defense.
“You gotta handle adversity a lot better,” Heyward said, expressing his continued frustrations to the media, according to the Tribune-Review’s Joe Rutter.
