PITTSBURGH KICKED OUT OF PLAYOFFS AFTER STRONG SEASON START

Just over a month ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers were flying high with a 10-3 record and a strong AFC North lead after beating the Browns.

But a tough three-game stretch exposed their struggles. Five consecutive losses later, including a playoff defeat, by losing to the Ravens 28-14 this past Saturday kicking them out of the playoffs.

DeShon Elliott summed it up, “Same thing every year — start strong, then collapse.”
