PITTSBURGH — The Steelers have lost four consecutive games after beating the Bengals in the season opener. The longest losing streak under Mike Tomlin is five games late in the 2009 season.
Tom Brady and the Buccaneers come to town with a 3-2 record, but they’ve been struggling to score. They’ve scored 21 points or fewer in four of their first five games. Three weeks ago, in a 14-12 home loss to the Packers, the Bucs didn’t score a touchdown until 14 seconds remained in the game.
The Steelers are struggling even more on offense. They failed to score a touchdown against the Bills, the first time they failed to reach the end zone since the 2019 season opener against Brady and his former team, the New England Patriots.
