How many “complete games” have the Pittsburgh Steelers played over the last three years? I’m not going to waste my time counting, but I would doubt I would need my other hand. Or my other finger. Anyway, you get the idea. It doesn’t happen often. One way or another, some unit doesn’t finish the job and it inevitably ends up a close game.
OLB T.J. Watt understands the defense is a part of that, and we’ve seen it to full effect this year. Even in the second game, in which they scored two touchdowns, they still surrendered enough points to make it close—indeed, they were trailing.
