What do they say about the definition of insanity? Something about repeating the same actions while expecting different results? Well, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ recent postseason efforts have been the definitely of insanity, even if not by intention.
The pattern is simple: build an insurmountable deficit and then fail to surmount it. Sometimes they kinda-sorta come close, as was the case on Monday when in the fourth quarter they pulled to within seven points of the Buffalo Bills after having trailed 21-0 at one point, going in a 17-3 run. The game ended 31-17.
And their previous postseason game in 2021 ended 42-21.
