The Pittsburgh Steelers flamed out on Saturday night against the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card round, 28-14. The Steelers were down 21-0 at halftime and, despite engineering two touchdown drives in the third quarter, they were never in the game. RB Derrick Henry and QB Lamar Jackson absolutely steamrolled the Steelers defense. That led to former NFL OL Ross Tucker calling out the defensive performance.
Most people expected the Ravens to beat the Steelers. But the Steelers’ lack of effort and physicality throughout most of the game surprised people. Former NFL DE Chris Canty saw it, and he thinks it begins at the top.
