Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh Steelers saw their season end on Saturday night, falling to the Baltimore Ravens, 28-14, in the AFC wild card round at M&T Bank Stadium, the franchise's sixth playoff defeat in eight seasons.
Despite only being with the organization for a season, Elliott was clear in his frustration with the Steelers' cycle of futility: a regular-season record above .500 followed by a one-and-done playoff stint.
"I'm just assessing what transpired tonight," coach Mike Tomlin said when asked about their pattern of one-and-dones in the playoffs."As I told you guys earlier in the week, those are my bags, not this collective's bags. And so my energy is on that group in there and what they were willing to give and the journey that we've been on this year and certainly it came to a disappointing end tonight.
As has been the case through the Steelers' four-game losing streak to end the regular season, the defense struggled to verbalize exactly what needed to change, not only in Saturday night's loss, but also in season-ending slide and the recent stretch of playoff losses.
