Welcome to the Locked-on Steelers podcast. I am your host, Tony Serino, and this is your daily dose of all

things Steelers. Today on the show, my rapid reaction to that Steelers 26 to 14 defeat to the Baltimore

Ravens, bringing their record now to 1-2-1 tied for last place in the AFC North with the Cleveland

Browns.

I mean, you consider the fact that the Steelers have now a division loss.

They actually are in last place via tiebreaker.

And the Ravens and Bengals are both three and one, meaning the Steelers are really behind now

in this AFC North race.

And also considering they have a home loss to the Baltimore Ravens, this was not a good start

to the season.

A sobering loss for the Steelers on Sunday night who felt like they had gotten their season

back on track on Monday night football against the Bucks.

And yes, it wasn't a dominating performance against the Bucks.

And in a lot of ways, it felt like that game could be a loss as well.

But they were able to get out of that stadium with a victory, not able to do the same on Sunday night in Heinz Field.

Look, the defense didn't have a strong showing on Sunday night, and I know a lot of people

are more and more tired of these consistent poor performances from the defense, but in this

football game, it's hard to win when you only score 14 points.

And the Steelers did the same thing they've done in the past couple weeks, which is start

slow and end slow.

And again, it's going to be very hard for this team to win football games with the kind of

defense it has if the offense is going to be, is going to struggle just as much.
