One of the curiosities of Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars was the revealing of yet another defensive sub-package by the Pittsburgh Steelers. This time, they introduced a package that currently lacks a name within their defense I will temporarily be referring to as Stranger Danger, just because.
If you were wondering why Jordan Dangerfield was out there on the field for 10 plays, it wasn’t because anybody was hurt. As a matter of fact, it was a three-safety look that otherwise came out of their ‘base’ 3-4 defense.
So who did the extra safety replace?
