The Steelers’ 36-10 loss to Kansas City on Boxing Day was one of the most frustrating games of a frustrating season. Perhaps the worst part of it (like so many of the Steelers’ no-show performances) is that so much of the trash was seemingly self-inflicted. There were missed tackles, strange offensive calls, god-awful blocks, and on and on.
My impulse, in moments like this, is to try to figure out what happened – why it went wrong and what could fix it. So I’ve been doing that a little this week.
Now, there are some things I’m not inclined to question.
