The old saying in professional football is that defense wins championships, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are certainly hoping that’s the case in 2024 as the defense will once again lead the way for the Black and Gold.

The offense is young and in a period of transition with two new quarterbacks and a new offensive coordinator, while the defense is star-studded and loaded with guys who are familiar playing with each other.
