Steelers Now
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s the team’s rushing defense and the potential for a big-picture failure this week against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Steelers gave up 299 yards rushing to the Ravens while going 1-2 against the playoffs last season, and then spent most of the offseason trying to build their defense up so that won’t happen again. Yet even against teams with lesser rushing attacks that feature dual-threat athletes, the Steelers have struggled.
Alan breaks it down.
