Part 2/11:
Smith emphasizes that despite Aaron Rogers' impressive performance—throwing for 249 yards and four touchdowns—the real issue lies with the Steelers' defense. Notably, Jaylen Ramsey, a recent acquisition, was "torched" all night, highlighting glaring defensive weaknesses. The stats paint a grim picture: Steelers have struggled in Thursday night road games, with a terrible 2-10 record under Mike Tomlin, and an 0-7 record against AFC North rivals. This defeat fuels Smith's doubts about the team's playoff prospects, especially given the quality of competition they face.
