While the Pittsburgh Steelers weren’t exactly lighting up the scoreboard in the first half against the Denver Broncos, their offense was effectively moving the ball. With 10 points through the first two quarters, Pittsburgh looked poised to have a relatively comfortable win over the Denver.
But the offense sputtered and stalled in the second half, allowing the Broncos to hang around and forcing the defense to close out the game. Speaking to reporters Tuesday via the team’s YouTube channel, Mike Tomlin explained why the final 30 minutes weren’t as sharp as the first half.
“A lot,” Tomlin said when asked what went wrong in the second half against Denver.
