Slow starts and the league’s worst run game doomed a once-promising Steelers season

The dust has barely settled on Pittsburgh’s embarrassing 48-37 home playoff loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday night. The Steelers have a host of big decisions to make in the coming months involving their slew of free agents and, likely, some members of their coaching staff. There is time to deliberate those on the pages of BTSC, in our podcasts and elsewhere. For now, though, we should take a minute to mourn the passing of a once-promising season that began with an historic 11-0 start only to see it wiped out like a sand castle in a tsunami.
