The 2023 Pittsburgh Steelers defense has been a rollercoaster ride through the first three games of the season. With extreme highs, and head-scratching lows, PFF’s Steve Palazzolo believes the unit is the key to the team’s upcoming matchup against the Houston Texans.
“Pittsburgh’s defense is tough,” said Palazzolo during PFF’s preview of Sunday’s game. “They’ve been carved up, but also they’re creating big plays, turnovers, sacks, so what Pittsburgh defense do you get here?”
As much as Steelers fans push back against PFF and its metrics, this has been the team’s reality thus far.
