When it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers and how they want to play football, the strategy has been well known in recent years under long-time head coach Mike Tomlin.
The Steelers want to run the football, play good defense, create turnovers to set up short fields for offenses, and avoid the killer mistakes on that side of the ball to win low-scoring games.
More often than not in the regular season, that has worked for the Steelers.
It’s a style that Denver Broncos’ defensive coordinator Vance Joseph knows well and is preparing for. Speaking to the media Thursday ahead of the Week 2 matchup against the Steelers, Joseph said he’s preparing for a “dark, tough game” against the Steelers due to the style of play that is a “rock ’em, sock ’em” style.
