The Pittsburgh Steelers couldn't get the job done in their Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, and their early struggles on defense were a huge reason why. Unfortunately, Pro Football Focus noticed the defensive struggles and appropriately revealed several duds from the Thursday Night Football game.
From Patrick Queen's terrible outing to Rayshawn Jenkins serving as the team's weakest link on defense, here's a look at the five worst-graded defenders from the Steelers' Week 4 loss.
Worst grades on defense
- 5. LB Patrick Queen — 37.0
- 4. LB Cole Holcomb — 36.0
- 3. DT Sebastian Joseph-Day — 32.5
- 2. DT Keeanu Benton — 31.1
- 1. S Rayshawn Jenkins — 25.5
It's surprising Queen was lower on the list, as fans and former players alike called out the Pro Bowl linebacker's performance in the Week 4 loss to Cleveland. The inclusion of Jenkins, Benton, and Joseph-Day is also troubling, as it highlights the Steelers'
struggles at safety and along the interior defensive line.
