‘They Beat Us:’ DeShon Elliott Says ‘No Excuses’ For Steelers’ Poor Defensive Performance Against Ravens

Once again, the Pittsburgh Steelers got bounced out of the playoffs in the first round. The Baltimore Ravens beat them handily, jumping out to a 21-point lead in the first half. It was a demoralizing performance from the Steelers, especially their defense. That unit is supposed to be one of the league’s best, but the Ravens crushed them. They were having communication issues over the last few weeks of the season, so it might seem safe to say that plagued them again. However, DeShon Elliott doesn’t believe that was the case.

“I feel like we communicated well,” Elliott said after the game via the team’s YouTube channel.
