Terrell Edmunds Says Steelers’ Friday Work Over Day Off Not A Message: ‘It Just Shows That We Lost’

A great defense finishes games, no matter the context. They close it out and preserve a lead to secure victory. It doesn’t matter if it’s a 35-6 lead or a 7-6 lead. If the defense is on the field, that scoreboard had better not change unless it’s to reflect a defensive touchdown being scored.

In that regard, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has failed three games in a row, even going back to an opener in which they created five takeaways and recorded seven sacks. The bottom line is they gave up what should have been the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds of regulation, so even that one win did not reflect ‘good enough’.
