Blink and you might have missed the Pittsburgh Steelers falling into a 21-0 hole Monday in the AFC Wild Card matchup against the Buffalo Bills on the road.
Hurt by two turnovers, the Steelers fell behind in a hurry and never came out of that three-score hole, dropping a 31-17 decision to the Bills. That ended a season that saw the Steelers deal with quite a bit of adversity and go through serious ups and downs.
Once again, it was that slow start and a significant deficit that ultimately doomed the Steelers, which has become quite the norm for the Black and Gold in the postseason in the last four appearances — all one-and-done losses.
