Since the bye week, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been pretty darn good in one key statistic on the defensive side of the football, that being tackling.
Against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, the Steelers recorded a team-low two missed tackles, which was the best mark the team has had in a single game in the seven years I’ve tracked missed tackles for Steelers Depot. Then, in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Steelers missed just five tackles.
Overall, defenders have been pretty good overall getting ball carriers to the ground each week.
Unfortunately on Monday, the Steelers backtracked a bit, recording eight missed tackles against the Indianapolis Colts.
