Another week, another defensive performance marred by miscommunications, leading to big plays.
This time, it was the Dallas Cowboys who carved up the Pittsburgh Steelers’ highly paid defense, doing so by taking advantage of a number of communication issues in the secondary.
Those communication issues had star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick frustrated after the Steelers’ 20-17 loss, though he said that they’re easy fixes. But after having those same issues in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts, things weren’t fixed for Sunday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys.
Appearing on the Black & Gold Zone postgame show on WPXI, former NFL GM Doug Whaley said the Steelers need to simplify things to allow their talented defense to just play.
