The three-games-in-11-days stretch for the Pittsburgh Steelers was supposed to tell us quite a bit — hopefully positive — about the 2024 version of the team, one that had been good for much of the season and entered the stretch sitting at 10-3 and looking like a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
Things were disastrous in the difficult stretch, though, as the Steelers lost all three games, falling to 10-6 on the season. In the process, the shine has come off the Steelers. The offense has struggled to do much of anything right, and the defense has completely fallen apart, having issues with communication and execution in the process, leading to some ugly blowout losses.
