At 10-3, things were looking really good for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Many thought they could finally win a playoff game and potentially even compete for a spot in the Super Bowl. Boy, have things changed. Three straight blowout losses dropped Pittsburgh to 10-6, with many now thinking of the Steelers as “frauds” and a first-round wild-card playoff exit.
In CBS Sports’ Week 17 grades, John Breech echoed these sentiments.
“This team feels like it’s fading fast, and with three straight losses, it will be a surprise if it gets out of the first round of the playoffs with the way it is currently playing,” wrote Breech.
