The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their second consecutive game in Week 16, a 34-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The loss marks just the second time the Steelers have lost to Lamar Jackson, and the first since 2019. That said, it wasn’t Jackson that was the biggest issue, it was the defense’s lack of ability to slow down Derrick Henry, who ran for 162 yards. The Steelers’ defense has struggled over the last two weeks, allowing 27 or more points in both contests. Linebacker Patrick Queen says the struggles are inexcusable.
“We’ve got to take a long look in the mirror and get better,” Queen said.
