It’s always easy to play armchair quarterback. Benefiting from hindsight that is 20/20. To sit from the comfort of my keyboard and pick apart the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive plan against the Cincinnati Bengals Thursday night. But with a result as ugly as that performance, Chase not only putting up record numbers but doing so in the most critical of situations, everything needs to be evaluated.
Largely, and fans might not like to hear it in the moment, Mike Tomlin and the Steelers do a generally good job of taking away an offense’s best player. Making Plan B, C, and D win.
