Steelers Report Card: Grading Pittsburgh’s Defense and Special Teams for the 2018 season

The Steelers started off the 2018 season at 1-2-1. It looked to be the beginning of the end until they reeled off six-straight wins and stood at 7-2-1 with six games remaining. Then they faltered down the stretch, as the defense surrendered four second-half leads in those final six contests. The special teams were complicit too. With that, I am tasked to break out the red pen and evaluate the team for what was a most-disappointing 2018.

As I’ve stated all along, I’m not a football coach or a teacher, but I play one in blogs and podcasts.
