Has the Steelers’ defense met expectations so far in 2021?

Knowing how the Steelers’ season did a true about-face last year, did we really expect anything less than a rollercoaster ride in 2021?

After beating the almighty Buffalo Bills in Week 1, the Steelers went on an ugly skid, dropping three contests – two of them at home, a rare occurrence – before a corresponding three-game win streak. If there’s one thing Mike Tomlin’s consistent with (besides otherworldly media responses), it’s his teams playing rather inconsistently.

Even in 2019, a year with Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges flailing for even decent quarterback play, the Steelers still finished .
