While the offense has looked like poop most of the season, the defense has been lights out. The only issue they have, and it's a rather big one, is their run defense. For some reason teams have decided running the ball is boring and throwing ducks to Minkah is more fun.interesting.......
The big 3 defensive stats are takeaways, sacks, and points allowed; those numbers generally tell the story of a defense most accurately. No team has ever finished a season ranked #1 in all three, but three teams have finished #1 in two: Legion of Boom, '00 Ratbirds, '85 Bears.
The Steelers are currently #1 in all three (including being #1 in both total turnovers and turnover diff)
They are also the #1 in pass defense in: YPG; opp completion %, passer rating, and total completions; interceptions.
They are pretty good imo.

That said, when Tuitt and Alualu are in the lineup, their run defense has been outstanding.While the offense has looked like poop most of the season, the defense has been lights out.

I’d say they have a strong chance for being the leader in those three defensive categories.

Ohhh, spicy.
Ravens players voted not to play Steelers in Week 12, Covid investigation goes beyond the weight room
Ravens players voted not to play Steelers in Week 12, Covid investigation goes beyond the weight room
The team voted that it did not want to play the game last Tuesday, after the game was moved from Thursday and Sunday, sources said, out of health concerns. Numerous team leaders made it clear to Ravens' management and the NFLPA that they were uncomfortable having to play the game then, but ultimately were advised by NFLPA leadership that withholding their services would result in forfeiting on their contract and would directly violate their collective bargaining agreement and could result in them forfeiting future games as well, sources said. Furthermore, it would result in the players also not being paid.

Are they going to keep it updated? If not... seems a waste. Also they are mixing and matching different color lights out front... no bueno.

I really really don't like this spot. It will be quite a relief if the Steelers wax them

This is one of those stats that initially looks funny on paper - my god, that's like 30 years! - but because they're in different conferences it only spans 6 games, one of which was a 1-point margin.I'd wish yinz luck but if yinz need luck today something went seriously wrong.

The return of Alex Smith definitely has me more concerned than usual. The Giants and WFT have actually looked much more competitive as of late.

I swore this was at 4:30pm but I guess it's at 5:00pm and Fox is running a half hour pre-game? Blah. I have a 5pm meeting and was hoping to watch the first half hour to see what kind of tone the game had.
**** the Ravens.

I'm actually concerned the Steelers break Alex Smith again.
