For the first time of 2021, we’re taking a look at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense according to the weekly charting we do. We’ll revisit this every four weeks (five weeks at the end of the year with the 17th game) with some of the numbers we’ve been tracking year-by-year. Things like blitz rate, pressures, targets, all the data we can extrapolate out of the weekly charting we conduct.
Let’s dive in.
– Excluding plays negated by penalty, the Steelers’ defense has been on the field for 257 snaps this season. That puts them on pace for 1092.
