00:00Mostly at this Steelers-Falcons game in terms of the Falcons not showing up.

00:06Falcons defense does deserve a little bit of love here. You got Matthew Judon,

00:10new addition, out there that came up with half a sack. So you did kind of see some,

00:14I would say, progression in this Falcons defense. But the Steelers defense has

00:19always been top-notch. We know that TJ Watt is kind of the the driving force

00:23there. He is the energy and the momentum swing guy. And then speaking of so, final

00:28score there being 18-10. And we just saw that the Steelers defense was able to

00:33capitalize on minimizing third down opportunities, not allowing the Falcons

00:37to convert. But what did you see other than the Steelers defense showing up

00:42tough? I mean Steelers defense, I think, is the main point of that game where it's

00:47like it's business as usual for them. TJ Watt seemingly makes a massive impact on

00:53every other play, every third play. And if the Steelers go anywhere this season,

00:58it's going to be because of their defense. Because again, realistically, like I said

01:02before the break, the offense for the Steelers was bad. They factually got stopped multiple

01:08times and had to settle for field goals. And they won because of the field goals.

01:11They also won because the defense kept things in line with the Falcons. And the Falcons

01:14underperformed on offense. So I would say there's no main takeaway except TJ Watt

01:19probably still running in for defensive player of the year as usual. He's always

01:23going to be one of the favorites. That's the main takeaway. He's still awesome.
