"The Steelers rank 28th in points per game (16.6), 28th in offensive yards per game (280.1), and 31st in passing yards per game (170) this season. "
These are actually better rankings than Tiny D Jack’s defensive unit, which is 32nd (dead last) in both overall Points Allowed and Points Per Game. Yet he still has his job at the time of this posting. Why? Could someone else honestly do any worse with this defense for the rest of the season?

Per-game scoring stats aren’t a great measure because they are highly dependent on how your other side of the ball performs. How many drives per game do you face? How often is the opponent starting deep in your territory thanks to a turnover, or near midfield thanks to your offense going three-and-out.
However, we have the worst passer rating allowed, which is damning.
Rivera is a defensive head coach. If you want to blame someone for an awful defense, blame him, it’s his scheme and his players.
90% of this sub seems to want to tank but they also seem to want to fire coaches they believe to be actively hurting the team
Seems counterproductive
