The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a crushing loss yesterday in Oakland, losing to a team that had a 2-10 record coming in to the Sunday afternoon matchup. A lot went wrong, all of which contributed to the Steelers finding themselves now at risk for missing the playoffs.
One of the most controversial decisions was Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin keeping future Hall of Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on the sideline while backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs struggled to convert 3rd downs without the help of their starting running back, James Conner, who was out with a sprained ankle.
