Not being mentally prepared for a big game is common under Mike Tomlin. Hands down the worst game I've ever seen by Roethlisberger. 11-0 to six weeks later a first round exit from the playoffs. Simply inexcusable. The Steelers need to get younger quickly but they aren't going to be able to because of the salary cap. They'll be lucky not to lose some key players in the offseason.
The Steelers need a replacement for Big Ben and a solid running back. As much as I like James Conner and all that he has accomplished being a cancer survivor, we need a power back and he's just not it.
