As the old saying goes, the best defense is offense. On Thursday Night Football against the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense did not abide by the old saying. That is, after a promising first half on offense, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and company had several three and outs and four punts. Naturally, this meant the defense was out on the field more, and presumably struggled to contain the Browns’ offense due to fatigue. When asked, the team’s safety Terrell Edmunds downplayed this notion.
“I wouldn’t say,” Edmunds said when asked on Steelers Live if fatigue was a factor in the defense’s late struggles on Thursday.
