The frustration with the Pittsburgh Steelers continues to bubble to the surface as this offense stays stuck in neutral with no end in sight. Former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark took to X on Sunday afternoon after the Steelers collapsed and lost to the Cleveland Browns to rail about how poorly the team played.
Clark called the performance disgraceful and called out the team for allowing it to happen. Clark spent 8 of this 13-year NFL career with the Steelers and was part of some of the best defensive units in the NFL at that time.
Disgraceful for the Steelers to lose to this Cleveland Browns’ team with DTR at QB. Not executing down the stretch offensively while DTR leads the game winning drive is inexcusable. Not making any changes is allowing it to happen. They can’t continue to allow IT to happen!!

It’s hard to lay too much blame at the feet of the Steelers defense given how poorly the offense played. However, Clark is right about that final drive. The Browns seemed to be able to just flip a switch and march the ball down the field for that game-winning drive with a rookie quarterback. After the game, head coach Mike Tomlin seemed to be in complete denial about the problems this team is having, even in wins which does make you wonder if he has any interest in making substantial changes going forward.
