[@haroldmccoy6748]

The 2020 home playoff blowout loss to the browns, Pittsburgh was the odds on favorite . A browns team whom just a week earlier the Steelers with obsolutely nothing to play for ,resting many starters since they already had finally wrapped up the division championship in a team up and down exhausting season , almost beat these browns ,who needed that win in order to make post season. The Steelers fully loaded with all of their starters got destroyed at Heinz field,first offensive play of game ,our potential hof ,pouncey ,snaps ball over head of our eventual hof qb ,our pro bowl rb connerand Roethliberger ridiculously fail to fall on ball before it lands in endzone ,opportunistic browns secure ball for a td . After a 11-0 start to season Steelers crawl into post season at 12-4 , and get dragged out after their first post season game by a division foe ,whom Roethliberger was suppose to have owned in his career . Pittsburgh 3 consecutive playoff loss ,twice at heinz field . This playoff loss ,the 2014 home playoff loss to ravens who were missing their entire starting cb's ,the 2017 home playoff loss to the jags ,both blowout losses ,as odds on favorites , objectively supercede this painful Steelers playoff loss to the Tebow broncos . That broncos tesm had lots of talent ,the Steelers were a beatup team , two defensive line starters were injured in this contest and never returned ,Lamar woodley and Ryan Clark didnt play in this contest , and this season was when ike Taylor began.his tumultuous decline , validated by his performance in this game . Losing to the browns at home in a post season contest after stsrting the season contemplating the possibility of a undefeated regular season ,also by being dominated is worst then the broncos loss in my opinion.
