The Pittsburgh Steelers defense will get their first taste of a rookie quarterback under defensive coordinator Keith Butler when they travel to Philadelphia to take on Carson Wentz and the Eagles on Sunday. In what was former defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau’s bread and butter, eyes will be on Butler to see if the coordinator can replicate his predecessor’s success against rookie quarterbacks.
Butler surely will have his work cut out for him in attempting to replicate LeBeau’s near impeccable track history against rookie quarterbacks. Rookie quarterbacks were a lopsided 2-19 against LeBeau’s Steelers, throwing for just 16 touchdowns and 22 interceptions.
