Defensive Scheme
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen described the team's previous defensive scheme as particularly tough for linebackers during an appearance on the Football Frame of Mind podcast. He contrasted it with his time in Baltimore, where players supported each other more freely. Queen also revealed he played the entire 2025 season through injuries.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Steven Nelson attributes T.J. Watt's reduced production this season to the team's defensive scheme. Nelson, who played with Watt in 2019 and 2020, called for Watt to be 'freed' from the current setup amid the Steelers' defensive struggles. Watt has recorded seven sacks through 12 games, on pace for his lowest total in a healthy season since his rookie year.
