For the second week in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers turned in a strong performance in the tackling department, leading to a thrilling 28-21 win Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati.
One week after recording seven missed tackles against an explosive offense in the Atlanta Falcons, the Steelers nearly matched that number again in Week 6 at the Bengals, another high-scoring unit.
Not a single Steelers defender recorded more than one individual missed tackle on the day. There’s a clear formula to win for the Steelers: balance on offense, and tackle well on defense.
