The Pittsburgh Steelers had a chance on Christmas Day to stay atop the AFC North. No question it was a tall task to beat the two-time Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. But the Steelers fell, 29-10, giving Steelers fans coal in their stockings.
Now the Steelers are a game behind the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North standings. But the even bigger picture is that the Steelers are struggling on both sides of the ball. And there’s only one game left in the regular season.
“Though there’s a playoff ticket already punched, Pittsburgh has now lost three in a row,” wrote Grant Gordon for NFL.
