Looking at the score, it would seem the Pittsburgh Steelers improved defensively against the New England Patriots on Sunday after two rough games to start the year. And in some areas they did. However, some of their continuous struggles were evident again in their 21-14 win. Speaking on X after Pittsburgh improved to 2-1, former Steelers OL Trai Essex voiced some concerns with the unit. He made it clear that he’s not calling for DC Teryl Austin to be fired, but he does think some changes need to be made.
“I’m never gonna call for another man’s job, ’cause that’s not my forte,” Essex said.
