Short week, two teams coming off rather physical games and already short-handed defensively. It wasn’t much of a surprise that Thursday night’s matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans was a rather sloppy one.
There were a ton of penalty flags that took some rhythm out of the game, and the tackling was quite poor, too.
Against the Titans, the Steelers missed 12 tackles, tying for their second-highest number of misses in a game dating back to Week Two against the Cleveland Browns, again in primetime at Acrisure Stadium. Pittsburgh’s season-high for missed tackles in a game remains 14, which occurred at Houston in Week Four.
