The Pittsburgh Steelers secondary was being held together by a wing and a prayer for most of the season, and, at least as far as the coaching staff was concerned, it was going well enough up through the bye week that they decided to leave well enough alone.
After the avalanche of big plays, including five touchdowns, that saw the Seahawks put up 39 points on the unit, the most they’ve given up this year, however, the plan to make some tweaks to the secondary was finally revisited, and this past Sunday, we saw veteran slot cornerback Brandon Boykin rotated in liberally.
