After grabbing a much-needed Week 15 win, the Pittsburgh Steelers were embarrassed by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday as they lost 36-10. It was another disappointing performance on both sides of the ball and the Steelers definitely heard lots of criticism post-game.
Wide receiver Diontae Johnson spoke on their struggles and also fired a savage shot at the doubters. Via ESPN's Brooke Pryor:
“We’ve just got to do a better job coming off the bus with better energy and taking the field with a purpose, which is winning, obviously. I feel like we’re going to do that this week because these last two games are going to be big for us. We need to win them.”
“I'm getting tired of people talking bad about the Steelers line — if it's so easy, why don't you come out here and do it for us?”
Pittsburgh has now dropped four of their last six contests and it doesn't get any easier with the Browns and Ravens left on the schedule. The playoffs are looking like a longshot at this point for the Steelers and they only have themselves to blame. But, winning these remaining games will be huge.
The Steelers' offense came out slow again in Week 16, heading into halftime down 23-0. Let's hope they can respond in Week 17.
