The Steelers defense has struggled during their three-game losing streak, but DT Cameron Heyward thinks they may have the answer. Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin called a post-Christmas team meeting with the hopes of working through the defense’s recent struggles.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have historically been a good defensive team. That has continued to be the case for most of Mike Tomlin’s tenure. The offense hasn’t always responded, yet the team has often been able to rely on their defense to take care of business and put them in a position to succeed.

Can’t squander opportunities, whether it’s turnovers, whether it’s getting off the field, whether it’s scoring touchdowns, it’s a multitude of things, and it has reared its big head.
