[Schefter] Steelers now have won 23 consecutive home games on Monday Night Football. The last time the Steelers lost a home game on Monday Night Football was to the New York Giants on October 14, 1991.

Drake Maye is now 1-12 when trailing in the 4th quarter.

Most of those games were during his rookie year under jerod mayo but Maye is 1-3 this year with the only win being against the dolphins with a 90 yard kickoff return from Marcus Jones that sparked the comeback. Last sunday Maye was 5 for 12 in the second half with one interception and could have had a second if Jordan poyer didnt drop it. As good as he has been this year, we are still waiting on a clutch performance in the 4th quarter.

Against DC Matt Everflus, the NFC North averaged 37.25 points.

For comparison, the Cowboys allowed 24.6 PPG against all other opponents. What exactly were the Cowboys thinking with this hire? Yes, he clearly was a better DC than head coach, but that’s not a hard bar the pass when you’re the only Bears head coach to ever get fired mid season by the McCaskey’s. Additionally, although the Bears were statistically a solid defense at 20 PPG allowed before he was fired, there were CONSTANT 4th quarter blown leads due to getting conservative with their defense, crumbling at the worst possible moments.
