We have just wrapped up week number 3 in the NFL and just a handful of teams are undefeated. One of the teams is the Pittsburgh Steelers and the main reason they are winning is because of their defense. Who really cares who starting at quarterback on this team, it does not matter.
Pittsburgh Steelers defense is getting the job done
As we all know that the Steelers number 1 quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger is currently serving a 4 games suspension. So the Steelers have been forced to use their 2nd and 3rd string quarterback o fill in. Guys like Byron Leftwich, Dennis Dixon and now Charlie Batch are you starting Pittsburgh Steelers …show more content…
That is an average of 11 points per games. Some of the points were allowed near the end of the game when it was already determined the Steelers would win. The Steelers defense only allows an average of 59.7 rushing yards per game. It is hard to lose a game when you shut your opponents rushing games.
This right now is the best team in the NFL and the best to wager on. We have one more week until Ben Rothlisberger comes back from suspension. I prefer the team now without him because the Pittsburgh defense is motivated and playing better knowing that the offense is missing their franchise quarterback.
My biggest concern here is when Ben Rothlisberger returns in a few weeks and reclaims the starting quarterback job, will the Steelers defense continue to dominate? This defense is a highly talented group and right now they are playing like they have a huge chip on their shoulder. The question is how long will this last? If they lose with Ben Rothlisberger starting, will this cause turmoil within the team? Only time will tell but for right now the Pittsburgh Steelers look like the best team in the NFL and this is without their franchise quarterback Bern Rothlisberger. Man this is exciting for us
