Summary

Nutrition label

71% Informative

The Steelers have trailed at halftime in three of their first four games.

The Steelers lost 27-24 to the Colts in their first game of the season .

The defense has been slow to warm up to the action, getting outscored 37-29 in first halves this season .

But in the second halves of those games, the Steelers averaged 17 points, 6.1 yards per play.

So despite a flawed, yet electric second-half performance by Fields with his three touchdowns, the Steelers couldn't complete the comeback. But for this team to find more success this season , they have to find ways to avoid needing comeback situations. "The real tangible reasons why we lost this game, man, it's on us," coach Mike Tomlin said. "We were sloppy in a lot of ways. You just don't win football games versus motivated groups in their venue playing the way that we played today in certain instances.".
