Steelers' Season Ends in 30-6 Brutal Beatdown by Texans' Defense | Aaron Rodgers Defends Mike Tomlin

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' season ends with a brutal beatdown by the Houston Texans' defense in a 30-6 loss where Aaron Rodgers and the offense were smothered. Christopher Carter gives his reaction to the loss and thoughts on why the offense couldn't find any answers. Was the biggest problem Rodgers, the offensive line, the lack of using Pat Freiermuth? And how to Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith play into those issues? While the defense fought well, the Steelers' season still came to an abrupt end in the first round of the playoffs. Where does blame for Tomlin fall in that discussion? Certainly in aspects with some personnel usage, but Rodgers gave a staunch defense of Tomlin in his postgame press conference to Chris and offers why he sees Tomlin as a coach that needs to be part of Pittsburgh's future. But after a ninth year without a playoff victory, is that the right move? Or is theree a different aspect of this team's growth that should be the measuring stick for the direction they want to head?
