In the month of the December, the Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a real rut. They’ve lost three of their last five games, including two straight, and have been bullied in their last two games against the Philadelphia Eagles and the Baltimore Ravens.
The highest-paid defense in football has struggled to stop anybody recently, and an offense that was so good for much of the season has struggled without key playmaker George Pickens.
Now, after falling into a tie in the AFC North with the Ravens following a 34-17 loss Saturday, the Steelers find themselves backed up against a wall needing a response in a big way.
