The Pittsburgh Steelers simply had one of the worst secondaries in the league this season. The group ranked 30th in the league in passing yards allowed, and relied on a prolific offense to keep them alive in many games.
With all eyes on the Super Bowl heading into 2016, the Steelers cannot afford another season of poor defensive play if they want to compete with the giants of the NFL.
Having an amazing offense, but a terrible defense simply doesn’t win championships. Feel free to ask the 2013 Denver Broncos, who fell 43-8 to the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII.
