The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense is still a top-10 unit in terms of points allowed per game at 19.9. That’s sixth-best in the league. But the reality is that the defense has allowed 20+ points four times in the last five games. And twice, the defense has allowed 30+ points.
So yes, the Steelers are still a top-10 scoring defense in the league overall. But the recent trend is not looking good at all. And that could be a big problem with the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town in two days. Oh, and the playoffs are only a couple of weeks away.
