So far this season...

The Steelers rank 12th in the league in YPG allowed.

They are 4th in passing YPG allowed.

They are 31st in rushing YPG allowed.

Ordinarily, for a 2-6 team, that could be explained by teams blowing us out early and just running the ball all second half, but that has not been the case. On top of that, a huge chunk of that 210 passing yards against came last week when the D was hit for more than double their average.

Considering the D's inability to create a pass rush, the secondary has held up well so far this year. These numbers, and my eyes, tell me that the biggest problem is that this D cannot stop the run. The other issue is third down efficiency.
