Misery Index · Despair
Steelers fans are watching A.Rodgers' best month in a decade get incinerated by Austin's bottom-five defense.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Rodgers to P.Freiermuth for 68 yards with 2:31 left should have been the dagger — instead it was a four-minute appetizer for J.Flacco, who carved up the secondary to T.Higgins and J.Chase and set up E.McPherson's chip shot. The defense surrendered a game-winning drive in under two minutes, and the final A.Rodgers heave fell incomplete. The quarterback play this team waited a decade for is being actively wasted on a unit that cannot get off the field.
