If the Steelers had any hope of making the playoffs this season, those hopes suffered a major blow with the loss against the Browns. Not only did our playoff hopes take a hit, but the more critical issue is the fact that the Steelers four-game winning streak ended.
Truth be told, it took me a few days to decompress after the brutal performance against the Browns. While I was watching the game unfold, I could just tell from the manner in which the Steelers started the game that it was going to be tough sledding.
The offense did not play fluidly at all; the defense looked lethargic.
