If there’s a clear strength on the 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers, it’s obviously their defense. It’s rare to win a game without scoring a touchdown, but that’s exactly what the Steelers did during their 18-10 victory in Week One against the Atlanta Falcons.
The biggest reason Pittsburgh was able to come away with a win in Atlanta was because of their defense. On that unit, there’s no bigger playmaker than edge rusher T.J. Watt. Watt showed up in a big way on Sunday, with a sack, four combined tackles, two tackles for a loss, three QB hits and a fumble recovery.
