Bill Belichick includes 4 Steelers in his midseason best
When it comes to evaluating talent, there are few who can claim to be as good as Bill Belichick. Belichick is one of the greatest head coaches in NFL history and he has six Super Bowls as a head coach to back it up. He also won two more as the defensive coordinator of the New York Giants.
So when Belichick put together his midseason All-Belichick team, we paid attention. We paid even closer attention when we realized he put four members of the Pittsburgh Steelers on the list.
On defense, Belichick included defensive tackle Cam Heyward and outside linebacker T.J. Watt on the list. Heyward has returned from an injury last season, got himself a big new contract and is playing like a young player once again. As for Watt, he's once again a frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year.
Belichick also gave props to the Steelers special teams. He put safety Miles Killebrew, who is perhaps the best kick blocker in the NFL and kicker Chris Boswell on the team. Boswell has been the team's most reliable scoring threat in Pittsburgh for years and this season is no different. Boswell is averaging 10.6 points per game and the team is averaging 23.4 points per game.
