T.J. Watt: Steelers Defense Coming Together Well, Looks ‘Like We Were Locked Away For 28 Days’ At Camp

They weren’t on the field for very long Saturday night at Acrisure Stadium against the Buffalo Bills, but the first-team defense for the Pittsburgh Steelers — in the first full action of preseason — looked rather strong overall.

The first drive of the game for the Steelers defense, Pittsburgh forced Buffalo into a three-and-out, eventually leading to another quick score from Pittsburgh’s offense and an early 14-0 lead.

On the second series of the game, Buffalo had some success moving the football, but ultimately stalled after nine plays and 31 yards, punting the football away again. One final time on the night, the Steelers starting defense had a strong third series as well, forcing another three-and-out from Buffalo.
