I hate to admit it, but the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season hasn’t gone the way most fans envisioned it would.
Sure, Mike Tomlin’s squad sits atop the AFC North with a 4-3 record, but the record doesn’t tell the full story. Pittsburgh’s four wins have been overshadowed by inconsistent play, injuries, and one glaring issue that has persisted week after week — the defense. What was once the Steelers’ calling card has become their biggest liability.
Something had to change, and the trade deadline provided the perfect opportunity.
I expected general manager Omar Khan and his front office to make a move — but truthfully, I was anticipating a receiver.
