Steelers are no longer undefeated, and they’re suddenly undependable when it comes to catching the football.
That was on full display on Monday Night Football when Pittsburgh pass-catchers dropped eight passes against Washington, the second straight contest in which the Steelers dropped at least six passes. Ben Roethlisberger has thrown at least 40 passes in each of Pittsburgh’s last four games, and the Steelers rushed for just 21 yards Monday night.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin had a blunt message for his wide receivers as he told them they’ll get replaced by guys who can catch the ball if drops continue to be an issue.
“They can catch the ball or they can get replaced by those that will catch it,” Tomlin said Tuesday. “I expect guys to make routine plays routinely.”
The Steelers will look to avoid a second-straight loss this coming weekend when they take on the Buffalo Bills.
