For many on the roster of the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday against the Detroit Lions in the preseason finale at Acrisure Stadium, it was the final opportunity to show they deserved to stick around after the cutdown deadline, especially defensively.
Much like the other two preseason games against the Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars, Sunday’s performance in the tackling department for the black and gold was rather solid once again. In total, the Steelers missed just nine tackles in the preseason finale, with just four guys that are projected starters or significant contributors missing tackles in the 19-9 win over the Lions.
