Kovacevic: Players will blow assignments, take penalties, under-perform ... and ultimately, that points to one person

PHILADELPHIA -- "There’s a dysfunction in what we’re putting on the field right now."

This was Cam Heyward, minutes after the Steelers' 35-13 predictable emasculation by the Eagles, the NFL's only perfect team, on this Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field. And believe it or not, he wasn't speaking of the offense. Or of coordinator non grata Matt Canada. Or of anything straying from the side of the football where he's employed.

But my goodness, what a word.

Dysfunction.

What a precise, pristine word to describe the the chin-deep doo-doo that's engulfing this franchise.
