Are the Pittsburgh Steelers through the rebuilding stage on defense?

There was once a time when the Pittsburgh Steelers won Super Bowls through their defense. When NFL offenses feared to face this team. A better time, when James Harrison was winning Defensive Player of the Year awards, and Troy Polumalu was jumping over centers.

Today, things have changed. Pittsburgh is now led by their offense. Through Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell, this team has continued to find success. Although fans miss the golden days of the Steel Curtain, this new found approach is just as entertaining.

Things may be ready to change, though. Pittsburgh will still win through their offense, but for the first time since the departure of Polamalu, the defense looks to be a dominant force.
