The Steelers’ defense has indeed gotten stronger, and that’s bad news for the AFC. After a tough loss to the Chiefs, the Steelers are looking to bounce back, and their defense is key to that effort.
Despite struggling against the Chiefs, with Patrick Mahomes throwing for 320 yards and three touchdowns, the Steelers’ defense has shown flashes of brilliance this season ¹. They’ve been particularly effective against the run, with players like Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris making big plays.
But what’s really got the Steelers’ defense looking stronger is their ability to force turnovers. They’ve been working on securing those loose balls and making plays on defense, which could give them an edge in the playoffs.
Of course, the Steelers still have some work to do, especially after that tough loss to the Chiefs. But with their defense looking stronger, they could be a force to be reckoned with in the AFC. As safety DeShon Elliott said, “We’ve got to get back to being who we are” ¹. If they can do that, watch out, AFC!
