While the Pittsburgh Steelers defense did manage to register over 100 sacks over the course of the last two seasons, during that same span of 32 regular season games the team has managed to register just 37 total takeaways with a few of those coming courtesy of their special teams units. Last season, the Steelers defense was especially brutal when it came to being able to take away the football from opposing offenses as only 15 were registered and just 3 in the team’s final six games. Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert acknowledged Wednesday while in Indianapolis for this year’s scouting combine that the team is probably going to have to add some defensive playmakers this offseason in an effort to hope that more takeaways are registered in 2019 as a result.
