Steelers lineman says losing streak has ‘actually been good for us’

The Steelers face the Patriots on Sunday in a vital matchup with major playoff implications.

Of course, Pittsburgh’s postseason position looked much better before enduring a three-game losing streak against the Broncos, Chargers, and Raiders.

As damaging as the run of losses has been, one Steelers offensive lineman chose to look on the bright side. The defeats — debilitating as they’ve been for the team’s drive for a playoff berth — could serve as motivation heading into the game against the Patriots.

“Yeah, in that sense, acknowledging we have a bigger feat in front of us, absolutely,” Steelers guard Ramon Foster told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ed Bouchette.
