Team Defense is a phrase often given to the Pittsburgh Steelers (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/pittsburgh-steelers). While Sunday's 23-20 win over Indianapolis seemed to highlight more individual plays than team defensive dominance, the results were typical; a suffocated Colts (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/indianapolis-colts) offense had little success all night.

Steelers OLB James Harrison (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1601/james-harrison) was a big part of the reason why the Colts only had 241 total yards - 80 of those on their final drive. Harrison had a monster game in run support, and came up with the sack and forced fumble that nearly decided the game.

This is not that play

There was a play in the first quarter that showed not only Harrison's dominance, but some excellent team defense.............

The defense held the Colts to 13 points with the weapons the Colts have on offense. Even without Manning, that offense is still dangerous. Their receivers can make things happen when you get the ball in their hands and Addai is a very underrated runner. Honestly, if not for the turnovers, it's likely that we shut them out or only allow a field goal or two.

Harrison had a good day at the office. Actually the defense as a whole are playing well so far this season, the offense are a concern though. Way too many turnovers on the offensive side of the ball, which is only making life harder for the defense.
