Steelers blame Hall of Fame field for Suisham injury

The 2015 season will end on a field that’s not ready for the Super Bowl. It started on a field that wasn’t ready for prime time.

According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers are complaining about the quality of the FieldTurf at the venue previously known as Fawcett Stadium and recently renamed Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium for the season-ending knee injury suffered by kicker Shaun Suisham.

Via Bouchette, the players contend the turf caused Suisham to lose his footing while he ran down under his kickoff.
