It seems that all the hard work the Pittsburgh Steelers defense did last season is being ignored by the media. The team only finished 8-8 but a case can be made the defense was the very best in the entire NFL. Nevertheless, when it comes to offseason accolades and pats on the back, the Steelers continue to be left out.
The latest snub was by ESPN who posted their Top 10 pass rushers in the league based on their EA Madden 21 rating. And there wasn’t a Steeler among them. But this didn’t stop Steelers Twitter from giving the teams four-headed pass-rushing monster some credit with he well-placed trolling you see above.
Even if you exclude Stephon Tuitt who missed a big chunk of the season with an injury and Bud Dupree who was the third-best pass rusher on the team, how you can omit Cam Heyward and especially T.J. Watt from this conversation is hard to fathom.
