The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the most talented defenses in the NFL. There’s no question about that, and yet, fans are often frustrated when watching the Steelers because they still seem to struggle giving up big plays. Not every team is perfect, and big plays will happen because NFL players are extremely talented, but the Steelers seem to allow these explosive plays at the worst times possible. They should be granted a little leeway for the back half of the 2023 season because they had so many injuries at positions with major communicators, like inside linebacker and safety, but that doesn’t forgive everything.
