It was a definite improvement in the tackling department by the Pittsburgh Steelers defense after a pitiful effort against Seattle last week, with only three first half whiffs versus the Indianapolis Colts. The Pittsburgh defense did finish with 12 in the game, and while most came after the game was decided, Im sure the coaches will want to take a long look at the tape. Most were not egregious misses, and some were actually tough tackles that slowed the ball carrier down enough for others to arrive. I’ll highlight two ugly plays, but rest assured the damage from missed tackles was minimal outside of those two plays.
