The Steelers defense against the Browns was disappointing

I warned about this in several threads last week. Every time the Steelers have a favorable matchup because of injury, they flop. This goes all the way back to the "candy bar" game vs. the Eagles and Brandon Boykin.

It's got to be coaching and preparation, or lack thereof, leading to overconfidence.

 

Same. Tomlin was giddy in the season ending post game presser, as if he was thrilled at drawing the Browns again. JuJu made his feelings known, even cited Tomlin.

It was clear from the first snap the Browns were better prepared and wanted it more. Carbon copy of the Jags playoff game three years ago. They were beaten before they took the field by a team that practiced once all week.
