Steelers' DeShon Elliott Calls Out Defense, Says 'Guys Can't Be F--king Wide Open'

DeShon Elliott expressed frustration with his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates after a Christmas Day defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs marked the team's third consecutive loss.

"First off, guys can't be f--king wide open," Elliott said when asked what the Steelers could change to end the losing streak. "That's the first thing. Just do your job, you know?

"I thought we communicated. Guys just weren't doing their freaking job. So, get back to the drawing board. It's Week 18. Shouldn't be having these problems in Week 18. This is a Week 1, Week 2 problem. So, I don't know where we went down the line, started becoming a whole different defense than what we were, but we've got to get back to who we are.
