By the end of the year, the Pittsburgh Steelers established themselves as having one of the best defenses in the NFL in 2019. They were among the leaders in points allowed, yards allowed, they led in sacks and takeaways. There wasn’t much that they didn’t do well, especially once Minkah Fitzpatrick got on board.
But this group, though, 2019 was just the appetizer. They still have their sights set on even higher ambitions. To them, what they did last season was still not at the level that they want to be. Or at least so says T.J. Watt, who is arguably the best player on the team.
