The Pittsburgh Steelers have become fluent in embarrassment. One might think that was reserved for the offensive side of the ball, but it certainly is not exclusive, particularly lately. The defense has given up 20-plus points in three consecutive games, the first time that’s happened in over a year.
Moreover, while they held a horrible New England Patriots offense with no running backs to just 81 yards, they surrendered 150 on the around to the Arizona Cardinals and then 170 on Saturday to the Indianapolis Colts—and the Colts got all of four carries from their top two backs.
