The Steelers defense allowed six points on 319 total yards with eight sacks and two fumble recoveries on Sunday against the Browns.
Fantasy Impact
The Steelers pass rush made it tough on Deshaun Watson all afternoon with eight sacks. The lone struggle for Pittsburgh on the day came via containing Harold Fannin. The Steelers head into their bye next week.
The Pittsburgh Steelers D/ST had a pick and two sacks in the team's 16-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
The Steelers kept the Saints offense out of the endzone and forced several more punts in the team's win to put them up at 5-2. It might not have been the prettiest game, but the defense certainly won't care. They will face the Browns at home next Sunday.
The Steelers D/ST allowed 19 points on 224 yards with two interceptions and five sacks on Sunday against the Buccaneers.
Fantasy Impact
The Steelers defense made it tough on rookie QB Jalon Daniels all afternoon in the overtime win. They'll face Tyler Shough and the Saints next week.
The Pittsburgh Steelers D/ST operated on a "bend, don't break" basis in the team's 34-22 win against the Colts on Sunday. They managed only a single sack and no turnovers against the Colts, but it was enough.
Fantasy Impact
The Steelers didn't get much in terms of counting stats, but they kept the Colts out of the end zone and forced them to take a multitude of field goals. In every other game so far, they've generated at least two turnovers, helping boost their overall fantasy scoring, but that wasn't the case for them today. They're not an incredible option at defense, but they're a usable streaming option.
The Steelers' D/ST allowed 27 points on 372 yards of total offense, recording five sacks and forcing two turnovers in Thursday's 27-24 loss to the Browns.
Fantasy Impact
The Steelers' defense made plenty of big plays in Thursday's loss. The unit also gave up a few too many big plays. The Steelers have allowed division rivals to put up exactly 27 points in back-to-back weeks. There's no doubting the Pittsburgh pass rush, but as a whole, the defense has been showing some holes. The Colts are next up.
