Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their third straight game in a 30-13 loss at tha hands of the Indianapolis Colts, dropping the team to 7-7 and out of playoff position. It was another abysmal loss, the team's third in a row, and opens up even bigger questions about Mike Tomlin's future with the franchise.
Mitch Trubisky looked terrible, the offensive line got whipped, Najee Harris even looked bad, and the offense looks lost. The group even looks worse than they did when Matt Canad was the offensive coordinator.
Meanwhile, the defense is a MASH unit with injuries abound, as Minkah Fitzpatrick couldn't return to the game and Trenton Thompson left. After a terrible decision by the officials to eject Damontae Kazee for an incidental hit, that left the Steelers with just Miles Killebrew as their only safety, forcing Patrick Peterson to play safety. Meanwhile, Mykal Walker and Mark Robinson got cooked in the run and pass games, and the Steelers' defense struggled to find answers.
Finally, Chris Carter focuses on Mike Tomlin, who's never seen this bad a collapse in his time coaching. Are the Steelers going to fire Mike Tomlin? Or will they give him the final year of his contract to straighten out the team?
