Part 2/9:
Watching the Steelers get overwhelmed by the Bills was a sobering sight. The team appeared manhandled on both sides of the ball, with players visibly outmatched and perhaps even out of step with their own physical capabilities. Notably, Mike Tomlin, one of the most respected coaches in the league, looked as old as his team, implying a season that’s further eroding their competitive edge.
Fans and analysts alike observed moments of unprofessionalism, such as Hayward taunting Josh Allen, and penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct that underscored a team lacking composure. These signs of discipline problems, combined with a failure to stop the Bills' offense, paint a picture of a team spiraling toward irrelevance—at least for this season.
