Ugly Steelers loss just gave Mike Tomlin critics everything they wanted

If you've been rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers to finally turn the page on Mike Tomlin, Week 8 was another step in the right direction. With ten days to prepare to host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, Tomlin's team was embarrassed in a 35-25 loss, which included 28 points surrendered in the second half.

This comes after a shameful Week 7 Thursday Night Football outing against the Cincinnati Bengals in which Tomlin's team allowed Ja'Marr Chase to earn 16 receptions on 23 targets for 161 yards and a touchdown.

That's when the excuses started coming.
