Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo react to the team's NFL Week 18 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium. Why did coach Mike Tomlin and OC Arthur Smith abandon the pass-heavy attack led by Russell Wilson that worked against this opponent a month ago to focus on Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and the running game? Was the game plan too reliant on a regressing offensive line, with names like Dan Moore Jr. and Broderick Jones struggling? What should we make of tight end Pat Freiermuth's busy night as the leading receiver? How were Bengals QB Joe Burrow and WR Ja'Marr Chase able to have success against Cory Trice Jr., Joey Porter Jr., Minkah Fitzpatrick and the Steelers secondary? And what are the likely NFL playoff scenarios heading into the final day of the regular season Sunday? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
