Here's the thing, if you played 11 games and everyone's still wondering what you really are,

that might be what you really are. Good morning to you. Good. Monday morning from Chicago.

I'm Dan Kovachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports. This is Daily Shot of Steelers presented by Fandul.

It comes your way bright and early every weekday. If you're into hockey and or baseball,

I also offer daily shots of penguins and pirates in the same place that you found this. Bears 31. Steelers 28. Yesterday it's Soldier Field. All the same stuff that's been going wrong, went wrong again. And actually, you want to know something?

All the same stuff that have been going right. Also went right. But there isn't a progression.

There isn't a sense in that locker room that, yeah, but at least we're getting better at this,

or we're getting better at that, or we're taking strides here,

or we know what we need to do there.

It just doesn't happen.

You'll see the results vary.

You'll see beating the Colts.

You'll see a week where the offense really looks like they're getting it together you'll see another week where it looks like the defense is getting it all

together and nothing's getting together and that to me was the story of this one.

There will understandably be a lot of focus on quarterback position because there always is.

I saw Mason Rudolph having to work with the same issues that have hurt Aaron Rogers,

and I saw a team that did enough things poorly,

that it really didn't matter all that much what Mason would have done,

even as compared to what they'd gotten out of Aaron for the better part of the previous month.

Mason wound up 24 of 31, which is a pretty decent completion rate, 171 yards, that's a little low.

One touchdown.

One pick when he heaved one up on a Steeler's second snap from scrimmage of the day for D.K.
