Entering Saturday’s must-win matchup against the Indianapolis Colts on the road at Lucas Oil Stadium, the Pittsburgh Steelers have one directive from head coach Mike Tomlin: don’t be fragile.
In recent weeks, the Steelers have largely been just that: fragile. When opponents make a play, it seems to throw the Steelers into a disarray. That showed up time and time again in losses to the Arizona Cardinals and the New England Patriots.
And, at times, the Steelers appeared soft and had some perceived effort issues in certain situations.
Now, Tomlin wants them to not be fragile in a primetime matchup with the Colts, which is the biggest game of the season for the Black and Gold with much riding on a playoff spot.
