Part 5/8:
There were whispers of missed opportunities as well, with notable drops from key pass catchers and a lack of consistency throughout the game. The Steelers required early scoring to bolster the morale of the team and provide some relief to the beleaguered defense.

Historically resistant to changes, the team management has consistently backed Tomlin, leading many to speculate about his future in light of recent playoff exits.
