Mike Tomlin Says Steelers Won't Be Defined by Thursday Night Loss to Cincinnati
Steelers allowed Bengals receivers to set records and failed to create turnovers in a 33-31 loss but coach Tomlin remains confident the team will recover.
- On Thursday night, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said `We won't be defined by this performance` after a 33-31 loss to Joe Flacco and Cincinnati Bengals.
- The Steelers' revamped secondary struggled against top receivers, allowing Chase to set a franchise record and Higgins to make deep plays, despite efforts to stop them, Jalen Ramsey said `We have to play better`.
- Joe Flacco threw 47 passes as Cincinnati averaged 6.2 yards per carry behind Chase Brown, Samaje Perine and a Flacco keeper, while Pittsburgh Steelers defense produced no takeaways.
- The loss keeps Pittsburgh Steelers winless in their last seven Thursday night road games against AFC North opponents and denied them a chance to create breathing room in the division.
- Later this month, the Pittsburgh Steelers face the Green Bay Packers in prime time on Oct. 26 when Aaron Rodgers, Packers quarterback, returns to face his former team.
