One week after recording 11 missed tackles for the second time in the year against the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers turned in a nightmare performing in the tackling department in a blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Steelers went into Philadelphia looking for their first win there since 1965 and, in the end, made their own history—in a bad way. Against the Eagles, the Steelers missed 20 tackles, nearly double the season-worst performance of 11 misses against the Browns in Weeks 12 and 14. It was the most missed tackles in a single game that I’ve charted in the six years I’ve been doing so here for Steelers Depot.
