Behind Trubisky, Pittsburgh lost 24-10 to one of the worst teams in the NFL.

It feels like a long time ago since Trubisky was a Pro Bowl selection. He eventually caught fire in Chicago and backed up Josh Allen in Buffalo for one year before signing with the Steelers in 2022. Although his stats aren’t necessarily the worst, there’s a stigma around Trubisky that he can’t seem to shake.

The real story in Pittsburgh should center around the fact that they may not have their future franchise quarterback on the roster right now. As disappointed as fans may be, Trubisky wasn’t terrible in relief of Pickett. He completed 64 percent of his passes for 117 yards and a touchdown.

They are tied with the Colts and Texans fighting for the final two spots in the playoffs, with the Broncos and Bills trailing them at 6-6. after Posted over 420 yards of offense Last week for the first time in a long time, the Steelers racked up more than 300 yards today in the losing effort. No matter who is under center, this offense needs to find a way to turn all those yards into more points. Last week, they scored 16 goals in the win and just 10 in this week’s loss. It goes without saying that there is a lot of room for improvement at the QB position in the Steel City.
