Pittsburgh Steelers Defense

✦ Blitz AI

Pittsburgh's defense rates 64.5, ranking 12th among all defenses. The rating has dropped 6.5 points from the previous calculation, driven primarily by a blend with the 2025 season baseline. The current 2026 season is weighted at 40 percent of this rating across five games played, anchored to last year's 74.2 rating, which itself was trending downward from prior years. The defense excels at forcing turnovers (83rd percentile in takeaway rate) and generating pressure (65th percentile in sacks per game), but struggles with yardage efficiency (30th percentile in yards allowed per game) and overall efficiency allowed (38th percentile), which are dragging the overall assessment lower.
