Rooney: Steelers ‘May Have Had Some Confidence Problems’ Entering Playoffs

The Pittsburgh Steelers could hardly have entered the postseason in worse morale. They lost their last four games of the regular season, only the third playoff team in history to do so. And from there, things went about as well as you might imagine, falling behind 21-0 in the opening round.

Considering the Steelers only ended up scoring 14 points of their own, you can extrapolate how they fared. The defense had no answers for the Ravens’ potent offense, with a run game that picked up 299 yards. As for the offense, for half of the game, they couldn’t get out of their own way.
