Merril Hoge Rips Steelers For ‘Not Even Close To Professional’ Effort In Playoff Loss

The Pittsburgh Steelers talked all week leading up to their AFC Wild Card matchup against the Baltimore Ravens about getting another crack at a team they felt they let one slip away against in Week 16.

The Steelers lost 34-17 in Baltimore, and two huge turnovers from quarterback Russell Wilson — a fumble inside the 5-yard line and a pick-six — were the difference in the end.

But in the Steelers’ Wild Card Round loss Saturday night in Baltimore, it was more of the same against the Ravens, especially defensively, as the Steelers had no answers for Ravens running back Derrick Henry, who once again ran roughshod on them.
