The Pittsburgh Steelers won in a thriller Monday night against the Cleveland Browns at home 26-22 with a big reason for the win resting on the efforts of their defense. While Pittsburgh accounted for two defensive touchdowns thanks to their star edge rushers T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, their defense again struggled against the run as well as got picked on in the passing game for the second-straight week. Last week against San Francisco, it was Patrick Peterson who got exposed in coverage, but against Cleveland, CB Levi Wallace had some tough moments against Cleveland’s passing attack.
Wallace admitted after the game that WR Amari Cooper had him “running a track meet” as the veteran wide receiver tested Wallace throughout the contest.
