Over the past five seasons, we’ve seen several Steelers teams limp into the playoffs with a struggling offense and a defense that carried the load. But during the five-game losing streak to end the 2024 season, the Steelers looked truly lost on defense. During that stretch, some of their stars in T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick were held quiet.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo thinks the Steelers aren’t getting creative enough with their star players on defense.
“I look at Minkah [Fitzpatrick] much in the same way I look at T.J. Watt,” Fittipaldo said Monday on The North Shore Drive Podcast.
