Questions surrounding the Steelers' quarterback state of affairs will come as regularly because the losses do in Pittsburgh at some point of the 2022 season, however you could assume head teach Mike Tomlin to stay regular on the problem withinside the instantaneously aftermath of defeat. 

  

Tomlin gave a straight forward solution whilst requested if he's going to re-compare Mitchell Trubisky's popularity as team's beginning QB following Thursday night time's 29-17 loss to the division-rival Cleveland Browns. His solve become harking back to that in the Steelers' QB opposition this beyond summer. 

  

 "I'm now no longer in that mindset," Tomlin stated postgame. "I'm inquisitive about reviewing his tape and searching on the totality of it and figuring how we together get higher. 

  

 "So, the solution to that query is definitively no." 

  

Forgoing any knee-jerk reactions has been a regular technique from Tomlin for the reason that preseason. However, with rookie Kenny Pickett ready withinside the wings and Pittsburgh enthusiasts letting Trubisky pay attention it in closing week's home-starting loss, the storyline is apparently getting ready to turning a page. 

  

Trubisky's night time wasn't all that awful on paper, in particular withinside the first half. The Steelers went into halftime with a 14-thirteen lead way to Trubisky's mistake-unfastened begin as he went nine-of-thirteen passing for 109 yards and scored one in all Pittsburgh's  touchdowns on a 1-backyard run. 

  

 Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada set Trubisky up for achievement with cunning play-calling that performed into his QB's strengths, however a well-adjusted Browns protection become equipped for it withinside the 2nd half, in which the Steelers punted on 4 of 5 drives and mustered simply 3 factors withinside the defeat. 

  

 "I sense like I'm in an awesome rhythm with my routine," stated Trubisky, who completed 20 of 32 for 207 yards passing. "Felt proper tonight -- simply were given to be higher withinside the 2nd half." 

  

 According to Next Gen Stats, 78.1% of Trubisky's tries had been thrown outdoor the numbers and he become nine of 12 for 129 yards on intermediate passes. Trubisky finished simply 1 of 6 deep passes for 36 yards, and the lone connection become due in huge component to George Pickens' wonderful catch. 

  

Once the Browns took away the sidelines and pressured Trubisky to throw down the middle, the Steelers offense stagnated and made lifestyles smooth for a Browns protection that blew a past due lead closing Sunday. At the quit of the night time, Pittsburgh had 308 yards of general offense and transformed simply 1 of eleven 1/3 downs. 

  

Perhaps Tomlin could have a higher concept after reviewing the tape, however the reputable Steelers teach can be going through his first dropping report in sixteen seasons if he does not discover a method to the suffering Steelers offense quickly. 

  

 "I concept he made a few performs however all of us together got here up short, and so this is how we degree performance -- triumphing is our commercial enterprise and we did not take care of commercial enterprise," Tomlin stated. "So we do not damage that aside and search for the sense-proper."
