The term “bully ball” has been thrown around a lot this offseason during conversations about the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s come out of the players’ mouths a fair bit as well. But not since they got into the stadium and put their mouths where their money is.
By most accounts, I’m sure, it would agreed that the Steelers showed through preseason play that they are capable of playing the bull-ball style of football they have been looking for all offseason. Veteran CB Patrick Peterson certainly sees it in this “gritty” team.
“The Pittsburgh Steelers history has been bully ball”, he said after the 24-0 blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons, according to Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
