It’s not easy to play a much uglier brand of football than what the Pittsburgh Steelers put on display earlier today, in a 41-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals that probably wasn’t even as close as the final score actually indicates. It’s certainly one of their worst losses in quite a while, perhaps near the top of the Mike Tomlin era.
A lot of it had to do with the poor performance the team got out of the trenches on both sides of the ball. The offensive line hardly got any movement in the running game, which shows in the numbers.
