TRAINER'S ROOM
Defense still shaky: The offense is going to have to play like it did in the first half -- when it rolled up 364 total yards and scored five times -- for the Steelers to win the AFC North. The defense is indeed that shaky despite the infusion of speed it received during the offseason. As today’s game reinforced,Wholesale Ncaa Jerseys, it doesn’t matter how fast a defense is if it can’t shed blocks or tackle. The Steelers didn’t do much of either after limiting the Browns to 101 yards of total offense in the first half. The Steelers’ inability to stop the run -- they gave up almost 200 rushing yards -- made them vulnerable to play-action and Brian Hoyer carved them up in the middle of the field. This defense just isn’t very good and nowhere near as physical as it needs to be up front.
