Things started out very rough Monday night for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense, leading to 14 first-quarter points by the Miami Dolphins at Heinz Field.
On the second drive of the game, the Steelers saw three defensive starters miss a tackle on one play, which led directly to a touchdown. Later in the first quarter, three special teams players missed a tackle on a punt return, meaning six total tackles were missed on just two plays. After the second quarter errors, the Steelers missed just two tackles the rest of the way, which played a huge role in the Steelers bouncing back from a 14-0 deficit to roll to a 27-14 win.
