How many times have we watched a Tomlin team put forth this kind of performance in a game critical to their season? At this point, someone being surprised by this is the surprising part. This is how it always goes. They play down, choke, or look completely unprepared.
Easily one of the most memorable seasons of our existence.
Struggle at QB for YEARS.
One of the best of all time joins the team.
He plays really well.
You tout your defense as an “historically” good unit.
And they turn out to be arguably the worst in the league.
Stunning.
Pittsburgh's allowed 30+ points in 4 of its first 7 games this season.
That hasn't happened since 2003. The only other times it happened were 1988, 1968, 1966, and 1962. #Steelers
Story is never gonna change for the Steelers defense.
You can throw as much money at the thing as you want, but great defenses in the NFL are coached by great defensive minds, innovators, creative, elite game planners, adjusters. That doesn't exist on Steelers sideline.
