The Pittsburgh Steelers looked like they had the Jacksonville Jaguars down for the count in the first half of the game, but that wasn't the case. At halftime of this game Pittsburgh was up by a score of 17-3 and looked like they were just going to cruse to the finish of this game. The Jags thought otherwise, and weren't going to give up this game without a good fight. They came back and made the final score 13-17, too close for my taste. I don't know what is going on with the Steelers defense but they need to figure it out, figure it out quickly. Gabbert had okay numbers nothing to be too impressed with. He was only 12-26, 109 yards, 1 TD and no INT's. Marcus Jones-Drew came close to getting 100 yards rushing, something that doesn't happen too often with the Steelers D. They don't like to give up yards on the ground, but Jones-Drew wanted to one of the players that is on the exception part of that list. The D can't start to sleep out there like it seems to happen almost ever game in the second half. There can't be that many teams that are "second half teams", it just can't be. The Steelers use to be known as one of the best teams in terms of defense, now there about middle of the row in that category. The secondary is one of the weak points on the D, Polamalu can't be everywhere on the field, though he is fast enough to be, but that's besides the point. If the Steelers D doesn't start to step it up and play like everyone knows how that are capable of, the season is just going to get longer and longer. I hope they can find a way to fix this problem and fix it fast, so that they can make the postseason and another Super Bowl run like they did last season. Let's pray for the best and root our Steelers on as the season goes on.
