Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Pittsburgh's Week 1 loss boiled down to the one area where Cleveland performed best against the Bengals.
over the last two seasons. It has never ranked top 20 in points or yards per game. And it has never once gained 400 yards in a game. According to The Ringer’s Sheil Kapadia, the other 31 teams have met the 400-yard mark 269 times during the same span. Never Canada’s Steelers.
But as quarterback Kenny Pickett said Sunday, “I think San Fran’s starting defense is a little bit better than some teams in the preseason.” Good enough to force Pickett into the fourth-most throws under pressure after Week 1. And good enough to nab two interceptions that Pickett attributed to the game script.
Add that to Tomlin’s list of errors induced by Pittsburgh’s lack of ball control. Then underline it for Monday’s game. Because the Browns’ third-down defense played better than San Francisco’s this weekend. Their run game is just as dangerous while boasting an element -- mobile threat Deshuan Watson -- that the 49ers’ lack. And, a Pittsburgh captain and the lynchpin to its run defense.
