During this past week, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler revealed that his magic number is 17 when it comes to points allowed by his unit as he believes they will win their share of games if they achieve that goal. On Sunday, Butler’s defense allowed 23 points and the Steelers lost by 10 to the Kansas City Chiefs.
While the Steelers defense managed to hold the Chiefs to just 9 points in the first half, they did allow 203 net yards of total offense in the process. Additionally, poor tackling reared its ugly head once again.
