Steelers fans are furious after Mike Tomlin torpedoes late comeback hopes

It's been 30 years since the Pittsburgh Steelers won a regular-season game in Chicago. Unfortunately, this team is going to have to wait even longer for their next chance to snap this ugly three-decade streak. With a chance to make the game-winning drive, Mike Tomlin made a decision that had the Steelers' fanbase fuming.

With Pittsburgh down 28-31 and needing a game-tying field goal to send the Week 12 contest into overtime, Coach Tomlin elected to punt the ball back to Caleb Williams and the Bears with 2:01 remaining in the game.

This decision showed an utter lack of confidence in the offense (which may have been warranted), but Pittsburgh's chances went down the tubes as soon as the special teams unit came on the field.
