The Pittsburgh Steelers went down 17-0 to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday early in the second quarter. They didn’t score any points until Chris Boswell booted a 50-yard field goal at the end of the first half to bring the score to 17-3. Slow starts have been an issue for the Steelers over the past few seasons, and they’ve resurfaced over the past few weeks.
During his weekly press conference, Mike Tomlin was asked about how the Steelers fix their execution issues early in games.
“We’re just gonna keep practicing,” Tomlin said Tuesday. “I imagine we’re not the only ones who have issues with [slow starts], particularly if three out of your first four games are in hostile environments.
