Thursday night’s showing on the road in front of a national audience against the Minnesota Vikings was one of the poorest ones the Pittsburgh Steelers have put together under head coach Mike Tomlin in recent years.
Though the game ended up being just a one-score game, the showing from the defense was downright poor as the Vikings ran over, through, and around the Steelers’ defense time and time and time again, embarrassing key defenders in the process.
That made for an anticipated and agonizing missed tackle report this week. Multiple viewings later, Thursday’s performance in the tackling department was…not as bad as I expected.
