The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense knows they must stop the run. And do it better than the 217 yards the defense allowed in Week 14’s first matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. But there’s one specific area the Steelers must be especially great in. And there’s optimism they can do it.
Situational football. That’s the name of these games. The difference can often be found in an opposing offense scoring seven or being held to a field goal for a four-point swing. Which means winning in the red zone and Sunday night, stopping the run in tight.
Baltimore ran at will against Green Bay but RB Derrick Henry was especially a battering ram inside the 10 yard line.
