We put our stat geek on the job of updating the Steelers’ success of their dime defensive package.

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense is markedly improved in 2017, especially in the secondary, and a large reason for that has been improved personnel, looking at you Mike Hilton and Joe Haden, and more experience in the number of sub packages Keith Butler deploys on a regular basis.

The one sub package which has been unbelievably successful has been their ‘dime’ package. Our local stat geek (58Steel) dove into the first half numbers of the sub package, its usage and the success of it vs. the opposition.

Time for the Stat Geek to take over.
