Keith Butler keeps experimenting with his Steelers defense, not surprising after they lost their most recent game, 45-42.
Jacksonville’s victory in January at Heinz Field tied for the most points ever scored in the Steelers’ 61 postseason appearances, only this was Blake Bortles at quarterback, not Dan Marino. The only other time the Steelers gave up 40 in the playoffs, it was Tom Brady at the helm.
So it is no wonder the Steelers defensive coordinator is trying to work new magic, and he’s doing so with two first-round draft picks.
T.J. Watt, their rookie starter at right outside linebacker in 2017, has practiced exclusively on the left through the first two weeks of spring drills.
