For the Pittsburgh Steelers, it’s always been about the defense. From Mean Joe Greene to Troy Polamalu, countless legends have shaped the Steelers defense that has always been adored by fans, and feared by opposition. Defense wins championships, they say, and Pittsburgh proved that, winning four super bowls in the ’70s behind a Steel Curtain defense that simply was unstoppable.
Defensive Coordinator Dick Lebeau was considered one of the most influential coaches in NFL history, having led a complete reboot of the Steelers defense, and winning two super bowls in the process.
