There are myriad reasons why the Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t won a playoff game since 2016. Maybe the biggest issue is how slowly they’ve started in the postseason. In their last six playoff games, they’ve been outscored 73-0 in the first quarter. They’ve dug themselves into holes they couldn’t climb out of. Former Steelers corner Bryant McFadden believes that was one of the most disappointing parts of the Steelers’ 28-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens Saturday night.
“When you look at how bad they were in the regular season, one would think the sense of urgency would be put on display, especially to start the game off,” McFadden said recently on CBS Sports HQ.
