The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost back to back games for the first time in the 2024 season, following a 23-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday with a 34-17 drubbing by the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. It’s thew first time the Steelers have lost two straight games this season, and the first time the franchise has lost straight two games by two touchdowns or more since all the way back in 2003.

Things won’t get any easier, with the 14-1 Kansas City Chiefs coming to town for the shortest of short-week games on Wednesday afternoon. Do the Black and Gold have the leadership to stop the slide from extending into a third game?

Alan Saunders joined Chris Carter on the Locked On Podcast to discuss the situation, and how it compares to the team’s three-game losing streak at the end of last season.

The guys also gave out stars and skulls grades from the Steelers defeat, and made predictions for the Christmas Day showdown with the two-time Super Bowl champs.
