The Pittsburgh Steelers opened up their regular season by defeating the Buffalo Bills by seven points. They proceeded to drop the next three games by nine or more points, beginning with a 26-17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. They lost 24-10 by the Cincinnati Bengals a week later before finally dropping Sunday’s game to the Green Bay Packers by a deficit of 27-17.
Put together, this is the Steelers’ worst three-game losing streak in decades. As Brooke Pryor shared on Twitter earlier this week, their three consecutive losses by nine or more points is the longest such streak that they have had since 1988, during the waning years of the Chuck Noll era.
