Teryl Austin Explains How Steelers Defense Will Fix Communication Issues

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive communication has been lackluster over their last two losses, as they’ve allowed receivers to get far too open. Against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16, they allowed two easy red zone touchdowns that were the result of communication issues, and Mike Tomlin said he was “displeased” with allowing those touchdowns. It’s tougher to communicate in a road environment, and that’s where the Steelers have really had their issues show this season. Speaking to the media today, defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said fixing communication is a focus and explained how the Steelers plan on doing so.
