Schobert: Defensive Performance Was ‘Unacceptable’

Joe Schobert said what didn’t need to be said. Pittsburgh’s performance in Sunday’s loss to Cincinnati was unacceptable. A point that also didn’t need to be said but was made crystal clear in the hours and days after the loss. On Wednesday, Schobert summed up the defense’s game against the Bengals.

“Just from a football playing level, it’s unacceptable,” he told reporters via Steelers.com. “And that was made known obviously in meetings and we got to come and buckle up chin straps, ready to work. Another AFC North opponent this week and chance to prove ourselves to ourselves.
