Steelers LB Alex Highsmith’s message after ‘unacceptable’ loss…
It’s another rough loss for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as they drop their third straight game with their latest loss to the Indianapolis Colts. They loss by the widest margin since Week 4 of this season, by 17 points to the Colts. Even when they’ve lost, they’ve usually kept games close within one or two possessions. However, things got out of hands for the Steelers in this one.
What’s most unusual about this loss is the Steelers defense lost control of the game. The Pittsburgh offense has struggled all year — particularly with Mitchell Trubisky replacing Kenny Pickett the past few games — but normally their defense bails them out. As of late, the Steelers defense is unable to do all the work while the offense slumps. That led to Pittsburgh giving up 30 unanswered points to Indianapolis.
