The Pittsburgh Steelers return home with a miserable case of jetlag following a 34-32 squeaker of a win over the lowly ranked New York Jets.
What Steelers Nation witnessed, including many thousands showing up in force at the enemy’s stadium, was about 200 million dollars worth of roadkill. Their team’s defense got run over worse than grandma did by those reindeer, and almost as badly as King Henry did them in during their January playoff loss.
The defense of the defense by the team’s apologists said it was a problem with the gaps, but the gaps were so gaping, and tackling was so optional, that it seems highly unlikely an extra long film session will provide enough thread to sew up this patient.
