What happened

J.Daniels' pick to J.Dean at the TB 43 with 1:46 left set PIT up at the 3, and C.McLaughlin's 53-yarder to force overtime only delayed what everyone watching already knew was coming. By the time D.Metcalf housed a 20-yard chunk from A.Rodgers in OT, the stadium had entered full gallows mode. The fanbase isn't debating schemes or personnel — they're just chanting one name, and he coaches the team.

    Thank god I stayed on my couch for this one. Worst team on our schedule, typical Steelers- play like shit. One week they look great the next we get embarrassed and lose to the BUCS 🤣 Mike Tomlin was never the problem. The players are the problem.
