Coming off of a rather disappointing 2021 season defensively that saw the Pittsburgh Steelers struggle to stop the run down the stretch and create enough splash plays to help win football games, a veteran group that added some big names like Myles Jack, Levi Wallace, Damontae Kazee and Larry Ogunjobi are aiming to be a top 5 defense once again in 2022.
To do that, according to veteran defensive end Chris Wormley, who is coming off of a career-high 7.0-sack season, the Steelers will need to stop the run at a much higher level in 2022 than they did last season, especially down the stretch.
