The Pittsburgh Steelers are reeling following a 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the third game they've dropped in 11 days.
Three times in 11 days, the Pittsburgh Steelers faced a team aiming for the Super Bowl, the kind of elite company the Steelers have spent most of the season trying to prove they belong in. And three times in 11 days, Pittsburgh found itself doing all of the little things wrong — and some of the big things too — on its way to a lopsided loss, the latest a 29-10 defeat at the hands of Kansas City on Christmas Day that offered a stark contrast of two teams heading in opposite directions.
Yet all the optimism that they were capable of making a playoff run for the first time since 2016 has dimmed amid a slide in which they've been outscored by an average of 16 points. 'The bottom line is the junior varsity is not good enough, we've got to own that,' Tomlin said. Pittsburgh gets a bit of an extended break before it hosts Cincinnati in the regular-season finale. How the Steelers respond over the next 10ish days is vital.
