The Pittsburgh Steelers defense has been a standout unit through three games, allowing just two total touchdowns and being one of the catalysts behind the team’s 3-0 start. Today, one of the standouts was OLB Nick Herbig, who replaced Alex Highsmith after he exited with a groin injury and had two second-half sacks. Elandon Roberts and Herbig said the defense is like a family and that its players can “feed off each other.”
“Not just Herbig, but anyone on our defense, that’s how we kind of build not a next-man-up mentality, but when you get in, it’s a certain standard.
