Steelers Suffer Three-Game Losing Streak

The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered their third consecutive loss on Christmas Day, falling 29-10 to the Kansas City Chiefs, a result that underscores their struggles against elite teams. Quarterback Russell Wilson’s turnover issues, including an interception thrown into triple coverage, and a lackluster defense that failed to pressure Patrick Mahomes, contributed to their defeat. Despite remaining technically atop the AFC North, the Steelers' grip on the division has weakened, especially as their defense has allowed over 28 points per game in recent outings. Coach Mike Tomlin emphasized the need for improvement, but with playoffs looming, the team faces increasing pressure to regain their earlier season identity. As they prepare for crucial matchups against strong opponents, Pittsburgh must address its defensive vulnerabilities and Wilson's performance to avoid a quick postseason exit.
