Bye week changes and adjustments for the Pittsburgh Steelers on defense

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense is a "bend-don't-break" unit heading into their Week 11 bye, despite being a group that doesn't give up many points, there is plenty to improve upon at the break.

The Steelers defense has shown tremendous improvement under Butler this year, and in some key categories as well.
