Steelers Lose to Ravens in Wild Card Game

Kirk Herbstreit delivered a scathing critique of the Pittsburgh Steelers during their Wild Card playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens, emphasizing their lack of fight and offensive rhythm. The Steelers fell behind 21-0 in the first half and struggled offensively, managing only 59 total yards and just two first downs. Herbstreit questioned their determination, stating, "Where the hell is the fight? This is the Pittsburgh Steelers," as they appeared to be going through the motions. Derrick Henry dominated for the Ravens with 186 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while the Steelers' offense finally scored late in the third quarter. Coach Mike Tomlin acknowledged the Ravens were the superior team, highlighting Lamar Jackson's impact. This defeat marks the Steelers' eighth consecutive year without a playoff victory, raising concerns about their future competitiveness.
