The Steelers played about as well as the weather on Sunday, as they laid an egg in a 24–10 defeat to the Cardinals, a contest that was delayed twice due to heavy rains and lightning.
However, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin wasn’t looking for any excuses after the Week 13 game. Speaking to reporters, Tomlin called out his team for playing at a “JV football” level against Arizona, per beat writer Alan Saunders on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"Horrible day at the office. We didn't do much right in that game, to be quite honest with you. We've got to own that ... starting first and foremost with me. ... JV football in a lot of ways."
