Put players in position to succeed. Have answers to the test. That’s the ultimate goal of a coaching staff and a game plan. For at least one play Sunday, and surely many more, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ coaches failed.
That was clearest on Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore’s second touchdown of the day. A score that gave Chicago a 24-21 lead, one the team would not give back. Almost all touchdowns come with the defensive desire for a do-over. But this one was especially egregious.
In simplest form, Pittsburgh’s issue is a math problem. Three can’t cover four.
