Steelers Afternoon Drive: How Did This Happen?

Welcome to the Steelers Afternoon Drive, our new daily podcast featuring all the latest Steelers news.

Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers laid an absolute egg at NRG Stadium on Sunday against the Houston Texans. First year head coach DeMeco Ryans and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik mopped the floor with Tomlin, Matt Canada and Teryl Austin. In a game that really wasn’t much of a game, pretty much everything went wrong. They gave up explosive plays through the air and on the ground to the likes of Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Dameon Pierce. TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith were held off the sack sheet despite going against an offensive line consisting of Shaq Mason and backup players. Offensively, Kenny Pickett and company had no answers either. Not only did they only produce 6 points, Pickett, Pat Freiermuth and Dan Moore Jr. all exited with injuries. Where does the team go from here as frustration continues to grow? Let’s go for another ride on the Steelers Afternoon Drive?
