Just how good is the pass defense for Pittsburgh? They are currently ranked #1 giving up 158 yards/game. That's 20 yards per game better than anybody else. I have seen them play early this year, but not recently.
Take a look at who they've played so far though.
Week 1 vs Balt. The Ravens blew out the Steelers 35-7. Flacco attempted 29 passes, threw for 224 yards and 3 TDs.
Week 2 vs SEA. TJax throws for 159 yards. Obomanu leads SEA receivers with 4/35.
Week 3 vs INDY Kerry Collins throws for 93 yards. Garcon leads receivers with 6/82.
Week 4 vs HOU Schaub throws for 138 yards. Andre Johnson injures his hamstring in the 2nd quarter, and it becomes the Arian Foster show (30/155/1). Texans win 17-10.
Week 5 vs TEN Hasselbeck throws for 262 mostly inconsequential yards in a blow out loss. Nate Washington (Tennessee's new #1) leads the way with 5/69
Week 6 vs JAX Gabbert throws for 109 yards. Mike Thomas leads the way with 4/36.
Look at those passing attacks for a minute. Its almost amazing that a team could face that type of schedule. TJAX, Collins, and Gabbert all lead wretched passing attacks. Then to get the Texans who lose Andre Johnson early in the game, and a Kenny Britt-less Titans squad?
I know they can only play the teams that are on their schedule, but I just wonder if they are all that.
