While many factors played into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ impressive second-half turnaround in 2022, one element that was often cited, even in the locker room, was a players-only meeting during the bye week in which everyone cleared the air and got on the same page.
Following Sunday’s 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans, there were indications that a meeting would be taking place, with RB Najee Harris leading the way. Brian Batko observed a scene in the locker room with Harris telling Broderick Jones about “getting the whole team together and addressing them as a group”.
Well, something took place, but it wasn’t quite that, according to WR Calvin Austin III.
