The Pittsburgh Steelers are synonymous for having an aggressive, punch-you-in-the-mouth defense, and that’s the way it’s always been. From the Steel Curtain dynasties of the 70s to the most recent Super Bowl teams, each teams’ identity has been highlighted by punishing, bone-jarring hits, whether it be Jack Lambert or James Harrison. However, last year was anything but that, even with newly crowned NFL Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt tying the single-season sack record. Ranking last in the league in run defense, the time of possession game was often not in their favor, thus forcing an almost anemic offense to play catch up.
