The Pittsburgh Steelers remained relatively quiet during this year’s free-agency period. A team that witnessed two of their best offensive players leave for AFC rivals. One would think that’s where their focus would be. Quickly replenishing All-Pro talent on the offensive side of the ball.
However, when evaluating their roster, it’s the defense that needed reinforcement.
Games are won down in the trenches and championships are won by assembling a stingy defense. Plain and simple. Luckily for the Steelers, they have a strong foundation of building blocks to work with for the foreseeable future.
At the end of the day, Defense wins championships IMO.
