The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the few NFL organizations with a winning philosophy that’s lasted for decades. A concise summary of that philosophy: pound the run, pressure the quarterback, and win in the trenches. The Steelers churn out star linebackers and defensive linemen, providing a strong foundation for a defense that’s often one of the best units in the league. Because of this, the Steelers believe they can make the playoffs and compete for a Super Bowl without an intricate, high-passing volume offense led by an elite quarterback.
Is this “winning formula” from Mike Tomlin and the Steelers out of date?
