The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense is not quite living up to the heights of the 2019 season just yet. As a defense, they allowed the third-fewest passing yards in the NFL last year, holding opponents to under 200 yards per game on average. They only allowed 200 or more yards twice from week four on.
So far through the first four games of the 2020 season, they are allowing 238 yards per game, and every team has thrown for over 200 yards. Even the Denver Broncos playing primarily with a backup quarterback managed 215 net passing yards, in a game in which they recorded seven sacks for a loss of 61 yards.
