Patrick Queen Downplays Defensive Struggles Against Bengals

The Pittsburgh Steelers played as bad defensively as they have all season in their 33-31 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last Thursday night, and LB Patrick Queen is ready to put the performance behind him.

“It’s the NFL. Sometimes it happens, even though you don’t want it to. Sometimes it’s ugly, but at the end of the day, it’s NFL. They get paid to play, their coaches get paid to coach. We just gotta make the plays, go out there and execute better,” Queen said Monday via Chris Adamski of TribLive on Twitter.

Patrick Queen downplayed that the Steelers defense is feeling frustrated or down on themselves after Thursday’s defeat pic.
