Did Mike Tomlin drop the ball with Diontae Johnson benching?
The once 11-0 Steelers have hit a rough patch. QB Ben Roethlisberger is struggling to keep defenses honest down the field. The receivers are having a hard time catching the ball. The defense is plagued by injuries. And the running game remains nonexistent. Host Ryan O’Leary and Steelers Wire editor Curt Popejoy discuss Pittsburgh’s loss to the Bills, coach Mike Tomlin’s decision to bench star wideout Diontae Johnson in the first half, and the team’s chances at righting the ship in time to make a deep playoff run. Episode 16 of the Steelers Wire podcast is powered by the USA Today Sports Media Group, with a fantasy segment from The Huddle and sports betting advice from the Sportsbook Wire.
