Steelers' Defense Struggles Despite Austin's Defense
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
The Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator, Teryl Austin, defends his teams run defense against the Baltimore Ravens, acknowledging errors but highlighting their control over the run game, excluding two long runs. Despite allowing over two hundred yards, Austin argues that removing those long runs would improve their performance. However, the Steelers run defense has struggled without rookie Derrick Harmon, allowing nearly double the rushing yardage in his absence. Austin emphasizes the importance of eliminating explosive runs, but also acknowledges the impact of many successful short runs on the defenses endurance and the opposing offenses possession. The Steelers defense ranks near the bottom of the league in plays and yards allowed per drive, indicating a broader issue with getting off the field.
