The Pittsburgh Steelers I’m sure didn’t need Las Vegas to tell them on Sunday that they were being viewed as underdogs heading into the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The final line came in at nearly plus-10 after the injuries were accounted for late in the week.
But they paid that no mind and simply played their game. While they recognized that they had certain things that had to be accounted for due to the circumstances and that their margin for error was minimal, there was no question in their confidence in the gameplan.
“Everybody was just locked in”, veteran safety Terrell Edmunds told reporters about the focus of the makeshift secondary going into the game, via Dale Lolley for the team’s website.
