Saying that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has been a disappointment is an understatement. That unit was supposed to be one of the NFL’s best. However, it’s actually been terrible. It’s currently ranked 28th in the league. The Steelers have fallen well short of their franchise’s standard. While there’s still time to turn things around, the Steelers’ defense might be what it is at this point. Former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah was left baffled by the Steelers’ defensive performance against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13.
“They’ve got plays where you’ll see secondary players, they’ll go to try and take on a receiver just to get a hit,” Jeremiah said recently on his Move the Sticks podcast.
