SUMMARY
Def / ST Rank: #1   
Overall: #99

The Steelers had a dominate defense last season, ranking first overall (second against the rush, first against the pass). Pittsburgh also recorded 51 sacks and had 20 interceptions. This unit did it all last season. James Harrison is one of the premier linebackers in the league. And safety Troy Polamalu is great in run support and making plays in the secondary. The Steelers should once again be a top defensive team with these two anchors leading the way. If the Steelers have a weakness, it is the return game. They got little last season in both the punt and kick return games. Rookie Mike Wallace could give the return game a boost. Wallace is a top playmaker that should get his chances on special teams.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
A top-five fantasy unit. The Steelers are as good as it gets, causing turnovers and getting after the quarterback. They won't do much with special teams, but you can overlook that when they are getting 50-plus sacks and holding opponents to low yardage and point totals.
