While it’s hard to get too upset in a win, one thing that bothered me about the Pittsburgh Steelers first two wins is how things ended. That’s not a knock on Pittsburgh’s elite defense, closing out wins with a T.J. Watt sack to walk it off against Atlanta while S Damontae Kazee picked off Bo Nix to beat Denver.
What I had an issue with is the Steelers’ offense. Getting the ball late, being unable to drain the rest of the clock, and asking Pittsburgh’s defense to make one last stop. They were strong situations for Pittsburgh to be in, Atlanta and Denver only having a sliver of hope left, but still, you want your offense to close out the game.
