The Pittsburgh Steelers defense is the team’s calling card. Although the defense may not always fire on all cylinders, when asked to come up and make a big play or stop, they almost always come through.
What makes the Steelers’ defense prowess for big-time plays and stops so impressive is that it doesn’t always come from stars. Sure, OLB T.J. Watt often makes game-clinching plays, but this season we have seen players like DB Beanie Bishop make huge game-changing and game-winning plays.
Tomorrow against the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers’ defense is going to need unsung heroes, with OLB Alex Highsmith out.
