The Steelers are understandably under fire this week after their failure to stand with the Bengals offense. Having made Joe Flacco look like he was back in his glory days, every pundit under the sun is prodding the AFC North leaders. In particular, HC Mike Tomlin and company are drawing fire for their big talk preceding such a small performance.
During the offseason, Steelers defenders expressed belief they could have an all-time great defense, which Tomlin backed. Even leading up to Thursday’s game, they reminded that they added Darius Slay and Jalen Ramsey for teams like Cincinnati.
