The Pittsburgh Steelers secondary has been nothing short of great recently but they have still been far from perfect. One area that has served as the unit’s kryptonite is the middle of the field as opposing quarterbacks have targeted this area with much success.
Philip Rivers operated without breaking a sweat when targeting the middle of the field in their last meeting, as he tossed a couple touchdown passes and had a few big gains in that area of the field. The Steelers’ inability to defend over the middle is not a new problem that sprouted up last week.
