There were times earlier this season in which it looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers defense would struggle to stop a nose bleed. The defense struggled out of the gate, surrendering 42 points at home to the Kansas City Chiefs, 27 on the road to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and another 26 at home at home against the Baltimore Ravens in consecutive weeks. While the Steelers’ defense allowed over 400 yards in three of their first four games, the unit has rebounded nicely over the last month and it could not have come at a better time, as the team prepares for the season’s second half.
