The Pittsburgh Steelers defense has been fantastic since the 2019 season when they acquired Minkah Fitzpatrick from the Miami Dolphins. Fitzpatrick was a missing piece to the puzzle which completed the team’s defense.
They already had talent on the roster with T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Bud Dupree and others, but Fitzpatrick made the secondary an issue for the opposition. In 2020 the Steelers led the NFL in many statistical categories, and were largely considered a Top 5 defense out of the NFL’s 32 organizations.
It may seem crazy, but could this 2021 defense be even better than the 2020 version?
