Steelers' Defense, Rodgers' Age Raise Playoff Doubts

Published 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Description

The Pittsburgh Steelers playoff hopes hinge on a conservative free agency approach, signing Jamel Dean to bolster the secondary but neglecting bigger defensive needs. The defense, ranked 25th in yards allowed and 17th in points conceded, shows signs of aging, with linebackers Malik Reed and Patrick Queen underperforming. The offense relies on a 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers, with question marks surrounding his performance. Missed opportunities in the linebacker position may put additional pressure on edge rushers TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith. The teams wait-and-see strategy casts doubt on another deep playoff run.
