Throughout much of the 2024 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers were one of the best tackling teams in football, missing the fewest tackles among all 32 teams in the league. But then, things fell apart late in the season.
At one point, the Steelers missed 36 tackles in two games. Despite the struggles in the tackling department, the Steelers still finished as one of the best teams in the tackling department on the year, finishing fourth overall in tackling efficiency, according to NFL.com and Next Gen Stats.
Within that high-end tackling efficiency, safety DeShon Elliott was the best efficiency mark the NFL has seen since 2018, forming a stout pairing with Minkah Fitzpatrick in the tackling department.
