The more reps they get early in the season, the better the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense gets.
That’s not just from a points-allowed perspective, either. One area where the Steelers are very clearly improving week after week is the tackling department. After missing seven tackles in Week 1 against Atlanta and then five tackles in Week 2 against Denver, the Steelers were even better in Week 3. They missed just three tackles, turning in a performance that tied for the best I have charted here at Steelers Depot in eight years.
Take your hat off and hand it to the defense.
