Almost every day leading up to Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, I harped on the Pittsburgh Steelers needing to fix their protection issues we broke down last week. You knew the Jets, led by Gregg Williams, was going to send heat early and often. Their ability to correct mistakes and adjust would be critical to their success/failure.
So how did they do? Not great. Not good enough, at least. That much is clear.
Williams and the Jets dialed up similar blitzes that gave the Steelers problems in their loss to the Buffalo Bills, daring them to adjust.
