It’s nothing new for the Pittsburgh Steelers to drop a game to a much lesser opponent. It’s become a staple of the Mike Tomlin tenure with at least one or two of those every season. You could argue two or even all three of the Steelers losses were like that this year. But this year was supposed to be different with a stellar defense and revamped offense with pedigree and talent all over the roster.
“The Pittsburgh Steelers, we know that they’ve been treading on thin ice and shallow water for the last seven years,” said former Steelers CB Patrick Peterson via his All Things Covered podcast on YouTube.
