The Pittsburgh Steelers have long been connected to dominant play on the defensive side of the football. Whether you go back to the Steel Curtain of the 70s, Blitzburgh of the 90s, or the stellar defense in the late 2000s, you can rest assured that Pittsburgh had talent at all levels of the defense as one of the most feared units in all of football.
However, last season Pittsburgh struggled to live up to that dominance as they were gashed upfront against the run, surrendering the most rushing years in the league and subsequently the most in team history.
