With the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals Sunday, one phrase will be repeated by all the Monday talk shows.
Trap game.
The idea that the 2-10 Cardinals didn’t have a shot to come in and beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh, something they hadn’t done since Chuck Noll’s first year coaching in 1969. That Pittsburgh, whose offense found traction in the prior game against the Cincinnati Bengals, would be able to – worse case scenario – pull out a close victory.
Instead, Pittsburgh played their worst game of the season. Sure, there were blowout losses to the San Francisco 49ers and Houston Texans.
