Below are the Steelers coverage stats for the week 3 Sunday night game against the Indianapolis Colts. They are broken down by play and include down and distance, line of scrimmage, direction, yards gained, yards after catch, personnel the offense used, defensive package, number of pass rushers and whether or not the defense blitzed on the play.
It is evident that the pass defense was good last night as they allowed less than a 50% completion rate and less than 4 yards per attempt. Ike Taylor was once again stellar as he was targeted 12 times and allowed just 3 catches on the night.
There were 7 screen like passes that can\’t be charged to a coverage and all of these amounted to just 22 yards. The Steelers also did a pretty good job tackling for the most part on the night as they allowed just 68 yards after the catch by my count.
They defense also did a good job of mixing in the blitzes this week early in the game as the stats show.
