Steelers takeaways from the blowout loss to the Bills

Sunday was an absolute disaster for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Buffalo Bills came to Acrisure Stadium and ran up and down the field on the Steelers defense all game long en route to a 26-7 win. The loss drops the Steelers to 6-6 and tied once again with the Baltimore Ravens. Here are the big takeaways from the tough loss.

No one is scared of this offense

Aaron Rodgers playing with a cast on his left wrist forced the Steelers to completely abandon the run game because he couldn't line up under center. The Steelers passing offense is already anemic but without the threat of the run there was nothing for the Bills defense to worry about.

The most expensive defense in the NFL is done

Yes, the Steelers are going to have another good game or two on defense this season. But this isn't a good defense. But it should be. This defense allowed the most rushing yards at home in franchise history and honestly it could have been more. There's no saving this unit this season and we aren't sure if there are really pieces to build on.

Can Mike Tomlin survive this?

No, Mike Tomlin isn't getting fired today but can these types of performances really continue and the ownership keep him around? Pittsburgh is once again on the playoff bubble and Tomlin seems to have no sense of urgency to try and get things on track.
