PIT DEF stats with and without Polamalu (1 Viewer)

[Black]

Saw an amazing stat on NFL Network, where with Polamalu in (this year?), Steelers gave up 17 points/game, very few passing TDs, and had a bunch of INTs. With him OUT, they give up nearly 27 points/game, allowed 9 passing TDs and had only 1 int.

Anyone have that exact stat? I can't find it now. Regardless, are you good starting your QB/WR against PIT with him out??

I would also be interested to see how the Pitt run defense is with and without Polamalu. He is clearly their best tackler and is all over the field.

This week Mason yes but Flacco just looks horrible right now. I don't think you can trust him against any defense at the moment.

Not starting a QB or WR but it's looking better for Ray Rice racking up receptions, yards, and a TD.

I noticed this too, only with D/ST scoring. I have the Pitt D/ST on my roster and their scoring is noticeably different with Palomalu in the game (games he played in are bolded):

Steelers DST...16.0...5.0...3.0...8.0...13.0...20.0...35.0...bye...30.0...6.0...10.0...14.6
