Through 12 games, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense hasn’t shown many positive signs as the same issues that plagued them in Week one against the San Francisco 49ers are still showing their ugly head against the New England Patriots in Week 13. The Steelers are coming off another brutal loss to New England on Thursday Night Football, putting their playoff status in true doubt as the offense looked incapable yet again with QB Mitch Trubisky under center with Kenny Pickett ruled out after having surgery to help mend his high ankle sprain.
The national media immediately started reacting to the game once it concluded, including former players Maurice Jones-Drew and Michael Robinson on NFL GameDay with Jones-Drew posing the question if the Steelers did their former offensive coordinator a disservice by firing him as the problem to an ongoing issue.
