Pittsburgh Steelers , after a demoralizing 31-17 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks , are trying to figure out how to make a comeback for a critical Week 3 matchup against the New England Patriots. The Steelers team and its coach, Mike Tomlin , face a serious injury crisis with the majority of their key team players being injured during their week 2 game with the Seahawks. Their week 2 loss brought them down to 1-1, the reason being a growing list of key players on the injury report, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.
The Steelers entered week 2’s game with a high probability of losing. The team was already short-handed as it missed some of its key offensive players due to injury. Alex Highsmith had an ankle injury, Derrick Harmon and Deshon Elliott have MCL injuries,
