There’s never a shortage of things to complain about when your team loses, but perhaps the most disappointing thing about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss on Sunday to the Baltimore Ravens is just how outclassed they were in the trenches.
Now, it wasn’t as lopsided as Baltimore’s 220 rushing yards on 39 carries might make it out to be, at least not on a play-to-play basis, but it doesn’t get up to 200-plus yards on the ground without some weaknesses on display.
Or at least a failure to match an opponent’s strength. And they found out the hard way that rookie center Tyler Linderbaum is quickly becoming one of the Ravens’ strengths.
