Just how much better can the Pittsburgh Steelers defense be in 2020 than they were in 2019? If the bulk of unit and key players stay healthy, the 2020 Steelers defense might wind up being the best unit the team has had on that side of the football since 2008.
Two of the defense’s returning players from last season, Steelers inside linebacker Devin Bush, a rookie in 2019, and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who was acquired in 2019 via a Week 3 trade, should both be able to play even faster and more confident in 2020 than they did in 2019.
