00:00My Steelers couldn't handle the Ravens. It was ugly in Baltimore. It wasn't a charm for

00:08the Steelers at all going there. It was a disaster and now that's two in a row they've

00:12dropped and they're in trouble.

00:15They are in trouble. Obviously this was tight for a while tied at 17 in the third quarter

00:20but some crucial turnovers including that one you mentioned earlier. Russell Wilson

00:24was running and he was at the Raven 10 fumbled the football. You also had the Humphrey pick

00:29six that really put the game with some distance at 31-17. Here is Mike Tomlin just not good

00:37enough.

00:38Really specifically we didn't control the run game. We never did and when you don't

00:44man you got to do some splash plays or win the turnover battle in a significant way and

00:49we didn't do that either. We had opportunities with some balls on the ground that we didn't

00:53get and then obviously we turned the ball over going in. It took seven points off the

00:58board and they had a pick six and you know the rest is history as they say. You got to

01:02control the run the line of scrimmage. The turnover game is always significant in matchups

01:07like this and we failed in both areas and so when you do that you should expect to lose.

01:13And they did. That's bottom line. They didn't do anything right in that game. That game

01:17was over before it started. So now it's all on them. They got two left and what could

01:23be worse than having to face Kansas City who's better than them flat out in the way

01:27Cincinnati's been playing. They're playing better than the Steelers right now as well.

01:32Right and look so that's that's kind of what it all comes down to here. Both of these teams

01:36are 10 and 5. There's two weeks left. If they both win their last two games and finish 12

01:43and 5 the Steelers would win the AFC North via tiebreakers. It obviously gets a little

01:50trickier if they both lose a game. The tiebreakers can change depending on who they lose to and

01:56things like that. Obviously the hurdle is Wednesday. We'll get more into it tomorrow

02:04before the game but can the Steelers at home. We've seen them on some of these holidays

02:10in the past come up with big efforts. Can they beat the Chiefs who as we know it's kind

02:15of they're there to be beaten most weeks but they always seem to find a way. It's at the

02:21Steelers house. Can they beat Matt Patrick Mahomes and give him his second loss in a

02:25year. I think they're in trouble the way they look the way they're playing the way they're

02:30turning the ball over the way he's not passing when they didn't have pickings. They look

02:35naked and now here they go against a team that never loses. They always find a way to

02:41win and he's going to be tough no matter what day it is. It could be Christmas. It could

02:45be New Year's. It could be anything but he always shows up to win and that's all there

02:49is to it. He's better than Russell Wilson. The team's better than the Steelers. They

02:53have to come up big. They got to get some breaks. They got to get some turnovers instead

02:58of turning the ball over themselves. They need to create turnovers. They need to sack

03:02Mahomes. They need to get to him in the pocket and frustrate him. If they're not going to

03:07get to him they're going to have the same result as they had the last two weeks. They

03:11played better teams and they both beat him. The Chiefs did beat the Texans on Saturday

03:1727-19. So the Texans will play the Ravens on Wednesday. So Texans can help you out too.

03:24You know they both lose and they would stay even the Ravens and the Steelers. So that

03:30game is in Houston. So you have and it's minus three for the Chiefs right now by the way

03:35for that game on Wednesday. That's a minus three. Yeah. I'm not feeling good about Houston

03:41either. I don't think they're that good. I know that you know you watch them play. They

03:45got beat by Kansas City. Now they're going to play Baltimore who's obviously confident

03:50after they beat the Steelers. They're going to have a chance to win another game and I

03:54think they will.
