The officiating. The schedule. Injuries. Yes, they were all obstacles the last six weeks for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But the only people the Steelers have to blame are themselves.
Calling pass interference on Joe Haden Sunday evening was one of the worst calls you’ll ever see. There’s zero debate about that. Bad, terrible, awful, no-good call. You can point to other plays in Sunday’s loss as bad breaks.
But look at the big picture. The Steelers lost to Denver, blew a lead against Los Angeles, and then fell to Oakland. Oakland.
