The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team laden with enough veterans who understand not only what it’s like to win but what it takes to win that when they lose a game, they don’t take it lightly, but they also don’t overreact to the circumstances. Even when it’s two losses in a row, which is something the team is facing for the first time since the middle of the 2016 season.
That message started at the top of the depth chart with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who was asked immediately after the game if he had concerns about the team’s having dropped two games in consecutive weeks, falling from 7-2-1 and positioning themselves for a top seed to now 7-4-1 and back in the thick of a divisional battle.
