The Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the 2-10 Arizona Cardinals on Sunday by a score of 24-10. There is no simple answer as to why they fell flat, as it was a combination of many factors. The offense couldn’t sustain drives, and when they did, they couldn’t finish them. The defense allowed way too many points to the struggling Cardinals, and special teams did nobody any favors in the field position battle with a few key penalties.
One thing you can point to as a turning point is the sequence at the end of the first half that saw the Steelers turnover the ball on downs at the one-yard line.
