The Pittsburgh Steelers blitzed at the lowest rate by the team over the past six seasons in 2024. Christopher Carter explains why that led to problems and must change in 2025. Mike Tomlin and Teryl Austin’s defense was a top ten unit and was good by many measures, but not elite. Chris explains where the decreased blitz rate hurt the Steelers and how the Buffalo Bills’ increased blitz rate helped them beat the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL Playoffs. Could there be a lesson in how the Steelers’ defense must be more aggressive in the future?
Chris looks at more metrics for the Steelers, as well as gives his reactions to the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs as the Kansas City Chiefs are set to play the Bills and the Philadelphia Eagles will host the Washington Commanders.
