No team in the NFL has spent more on defense this season than the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh had a ton of money wrapped up in the defense last season as well but it didn’t really pay off. Will this season be different?
The Steelers have invested $165 million in a defense hoping to do better than No. 20 in points allowed and No. 24 in yards allowed. The big additions were linebacker Myles Jack and cornerback Levi Wallace. Meanwhile, cornerback Joe Haden, linebacker Joe Schobert and defensive lineman Stephon Tuitt are gone.

With so many new moving parts on offense, this defense needs to play at a level equal to the price tag. The AFC is loaded with high-powered offenses and Pittsburgh needs to lean on the defense to try to keep pace. Cast your vote and let us know.
