The Pittsburgh Steelers are primarily to blame for their disappointing Week 15 loss to………

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in disarray. Following a disappointing loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15, the team has lost three games in a row. The Colts defeated the Steelers 30-13 in a game that didn’t feel close at all. The Steelers must do some soul-searching and work quickly to correct the situation. The team is, without a doubt, the most to blame for this disappointing loss, and here are the three people most responsible for the team losing that game.

The Steelers put themselves in position to win in the first half. The team trailed the Colts 14-13 at halftime. The Steelers however didn’t score at all in the second half of the contest. That falls on the quarterback, who has to help the team move the ball. Mitchell Trubisky is the leader of the team at the moment, and simply hasn’t been able to get the job done. Trubisky finished the game with 169 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. That’s just not a good stat line.

Trubisky actually lost his job near the end of the game as Mason Rudolph stepped in for the Steelers. He didn’t do too well, either. The Steelers just don’t have a reliable gunslinger like Ben Roethlisberger hanging around who can stand in the pocket and make the necessary throw, or run hard for a few extra yards and get a first down. If Trubisky keeps his job as the play caller of this team, he’s got to make good throws and manage this offense.

Najee Harris is struggling to get yards right now. The Steelers running back finished the game with 33 yards on 12 carries. He hasn’t rushed for more than 63 yards in a game in any of these last three losses for the team. Harris also has yet to run for 100 yards in a game this season, despite playing in all 14 contests. He’s really not finding the right holes and making the right cuts.
