The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ stellar season has hit the skids.
After rolling to 11 straight wins, the Steelers (11-2) have lost two in a row, and the team is struggling to establish balance on offense. The Buffalo Bills (10-3) beat the Steelers 26-15 en route to their third straight win. Josh Allen threw for 283 yards and two touchdowns, and safety Taron Johnson returned a Ben Roethlisberger interception for a touchdown.
Twitter reacted to the Steelers’ sloppy performance.

Steelers’ offensive woes
Colin Cowherd hates the Steelers
A “sensitive and humble” Cowherd continued bashing the Steelers, a team he predicted to go 7-9. And his Fox Bet Sportsbook Boom Bet was a winner among his Week 14 NFL picks.
“The Steelers’ time has come and gone,” he said. “The Steelers are a big brand, but they are no longer elite.”
Some good news
Week 14 wasn’t a complete lost cause for the Black and Yellow. The Steelers recorded a sack for a 70th straight game, marking a new NFL record. With the Miami Dolphins loss, the Steelers also clinched a playoff berth.
