After a disappointing loss to the Indianapolis Colts last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to bounce back tomorrow night against the Dallas Cowboys. One reason for Pittsburgh’s loss last week was a poor defensive effort, which was due in part to communication issues.

If the Steelers defense is going to return to form, those communication issues have to be fixed, and Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin knows that it could be a difficult task at home with a rowdy home crowd.

“Sometimes you lack communication, and particularly in our home venue in prime time, the communication at the early stages is gonna be significant for our defense,” said Tomlin on The Mike Tomlin Show posted on YouTube.
