You want to be playing your best football late in the season, but in the last two years, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been doing anything but that.
Last season’s five-game losing streak to end a once-promising year was a prime example of that. The Steelers were a bit banged up, but the ability to execute at a high level, communicate well, and play sound, fundamental football disappeared in the blink of an eye late last year.
It lead to four straight losses to end the regular season and culminated in a blowout loss in an AFC Wild Card matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, sending the Steelers home with a whimper.
