The Steelers believe improvements in their run defense is one of the keys to their recent success—and to their future success, as well. While the numbers might not always make it obvious, they have made real strides, even while down starters. Derrick Harmon is one of them, even if he was “a little agitated” to not suit up last week.
“We’ve just got to keep doing what we do”, Cameron Heyward said, via the Steelers’ website, about their run defense. “There’s a theme with these last couple games. It’s stopping the run, and when we do that, we win the game”.
