Alex Highsmith Says Steelers Are ‘Drowning Out The Negativity’ Following Tough Stretch

After the Christmas Day shellacking that the Pittsburgh Steelers took at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs at Acrisure Stadium, some of the comments coming out of their locker room were rather pointed and concerning.

Veteran safety DeShon Elliott ripped into the defense, stating that players just weren’t doing their “fricking jobs” leading to guys running wide open for the Chiefs. Team captain Cameron Heyward said that when 10 guys do their jobs and one doesn’t, “we’re screwed.”

Even linebacker and green dot wearer Patrick Queen stated that nobody seemed interested in doing something about the communication issues and the inability to execute properly.
