Pittsburgh Steelers Navigate Season Challenges Amidst Mental Mistakes and Player Struggles

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been facing a challenging season, marked by a series of mental mistakes and unforced errors. The team's tight end, Pat Freiermuth, expressed his frustration over these errors, particularly the three procedural/formation penalties that occurred in a recent game. Freiermuth emphasized that the team has been using the same formations for three years, making these mistakes even more frustrating.

In addition to these errors, the team has been dealing with the struggles of their quarterback, Kenny Pickett. The Steelers considered benching Pickett due to his performance, but instead decided to fire offensive coordinator Matt Canada in hopes of improving Pickett's performance. However, Pickett's recent ankle surgery has further complicated the team's decision-making for the future.

Despite these challenges, the Steelers managed to put up a fight in their recent game against the New England Patriots. The Patriots won the game 21-18, with their quarterback Bailey Zappe throwing three touchdowns in the first half. The Steelers, however, showed some improvement in the second half, but it was not enough to secure a win. The loss brought the Steelers' season record to 7-6, while the Patriots improved to 3-10.

The Steelers' linebacker, Alex Highsmith, has also voiced his belief that T.J. Watt is being held on almost every play without receiving the appropriate calls from referees. This claim adds another layer to the challenges the team has been facing this season.

As the Steelers navigate these issues, the team and its fans are hoping for a turnaround in the remaining games of the season.
