If the Pittsburgh Steelers tackle as poorly against the Baltimore Ravens as they did versus the Philadelphia Eagles, they’ll be handed their second loss in six days and lose their once firm grip on the division lead. Facing many of the same challenges this Saturday as they did last Sunday, an athletic quarterback, a powerful runner, big-play receivers, Pittsburgh knows its results must be different. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin is banking on the “real” Steelers to shine through in Baltimore.
“I would think based on the amount of reps and the way we played so far, that we’re hoping that’s a one-off,” Austin told reporters Wednesday via a team-issued transcript.
