With a stagnant and stale Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense, the team has looked to other areas for splash. Their defense has done plenty of that, second in the league in takeaways while registering the third-most sacks of any team who has had a bye week. Point is, when Pittsburgh’s won games, it’s largely because of the playmaking of their defense.
For Mike Tomlin, he wants to see special teams join the party. Kicker Chris Boswell has continued to be his excellent stuff, making more career 50-plus yard kicks than all other combined Steelers’ kickers in history, but the return game has been lackluster.
