🏈 Kirk Herbstreit ripped the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first-half effort in Saturday night’s Wild Card game loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

“Where the hell is the fight?! This is the Pittsburgh Steelers! There’s nothing! They’re just going through the motions!” Herbstreit said during the Amazon Prime broadcast.

🏈 It was the eighth time Mike Tomlin has lost in the opening round of the playoffs. Only former Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer’s has more one-and-done appearances in the postseason (9).

🏈 It was Pittsburgh’s sixth consecutive playoff defeat, tying the Miami Dolphins for the longest active streak in the league.

🏈 The last time Mike Tomlin won a playoff game was in January 2017. Since then, 28 head coaches have won at least one playoff game.

🏈 Najee Harris and Pa Freiermuth walked off the field together after Saturday night’s loss. It could have been Harris’ last game in the Black and Gold.
