Teryl Austin Believes Defense Will Finish Games Better: ‘We’ll Start Making Those Plays’

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has had a tough time closing games out each of the last three weeks. After a back-breaking drive that lasted over six minutes against the New England Patriots where the Patriots used the ground game to chew the clock and end any hopes of a Steelers comeback, the Cleveland Browns put together a similar drive between the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth in Week 3 to give them a two-score lead. Last week, with Pittsburgh clinging onto a three-point lead, the New York Jets went 65 yards in 10 plays and 3:15 to go up 24-20 with 16 seconds left to clinch the upset win at Acrisure Stadium.
