It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
As it pertains to the Steelers, the best of times came on Sunday afternoon, when they clinched their first playoff berth in three years, thanks to a Chiefs’ victory over Miami.
The worst of times came Sunday evening, after a 26-15 loss to Buffalo at Bills Stadium.
It was Pittsburgh’s second-straight loss after an 11-0 start, but that wasn’t really the frustrating part. The truly maddening narrative of Sunday’s loss was that it was a continuation of the offensive struggles that have plagued this team since before Halloween.
