The Pittsburgh Steelers have nearly fallen out of the playoff race after sitting pretty three weeks ago. They’ve dropped three straight games to go from 7-4 and the top Wild Card seed in the AFC to 7-7 and the 10th seed, needing to win the rest of their games and rely on some help to get into the postseason.
There have been many reasons for Pittsburgh’s downfall in recent weeks, including the play at the quarterback position with QB Kenny Pickett getting hurt, forcing the Steelers to turn to QB Mitch Trubisky, who hasn’t played well. Numerous penalties and lack of execution on offense has also been a thorn in Pittsburgh’s side and then there is the play by the offensive line.
