Whether it was Tom Brady in the mid-2010s or the Philadelphia Eagles, there’s been one approach to slowing the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense down. Tempo. The Eagles picked up the pace against them in Sunday’s 27-13 win, a strategy the Baltimore Ravens could copy this week.
Calling last weekend’s game, Brady commented about how he utilized pace to get a leg up on Pittsburgh.
“Playing the Steelers as many time as I did, tempo was always good against this defense,” Brady said during the Eagles-Steelers game.
Philadelphia sprinkled in but effectively utilized tempo to create chaos along Pittsburgh’s defense.
