The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense couldn't have played much worse in the second half against the Green Bay Packers, and it's easy to point the finger at head coach Mike Tomlin. But the players aren't absolved of blame. One of the biggest culprits for an egregious showing on Sunday Night Football was linebacker Patrick Queen.
The sixth-year linebacker and two-time Pro Bowler was signed during the 2024 offseason to be the answer to their problems in the middle of the field. Unfortunately, Queen has been one of the most sporadic linebackers in the league.
Queen has had constant lapses in coverage this season, and his tackling has been subpar.
