The Pittsburgh Steelers’ lopsided time of possession wasn’t just bad within the scope of this game against the Philadelphia Eagles, it was borderline historic for the franchise.
The Steelers’ offensive identity entering the season was clear. They wanted to control the clock with a combination of their own rushing attack and an excellent defense. They’ve done a nice job with that identity this season, but suffered a huge setback against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15.
After winning (or tying) the time of possession (TOP) battle in all but two games this season, the Steelers suffered a lopsided defeat in this category.
