2. Offense Carries the Load, but Not Enough
This wasn’t the game the Steelers wanted to play, having to throw the ball 60 times, and only getting 17 yards on eight carries with a score.
The way things started, the Steelers had to throw the ball a ton, and it felt a lot like last seasons playoff loss at home to the Jaguars, where they were able to rally, but it just wasn’t enough as the defense could not get off the field.
While this was a team loss, the team does get some credit for rallying to tie it at half and making it interesting, but at the same time, a faster start on offense might have helped.
This whole thing Sunday was a mess, and while both sides deserve blame, the offense gets more of a pass since they actually did come back and make a game of it in the second quarter.

Pat Mahomes , a first year starter looked like a surgeon cutting slashing and slicing a veteran Steeler defense . In a word , embarrassing , to say the least . The Steelers players and coaching staff had no idea whatsoever on how to even slow down this kid , much less stop him . Hands down the worst defensive performance in many years . Keith Butler needs to go , period . The same breakdowns week after week and they are never fixed . It time for the excuses to stop . Mike Tomlin is just as guilty . This undisiplined mess of a football team falls squarely in his lap . Hes the head coach and the job is not getting done . The excuses need to stop , once and for all .
