π ESPNβs Jeremy Fowler said both T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward were frustrated after the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night.
βI was at locker room last night, and there was a mix of confusion and really anger. Talking to Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt, they were just talking about how unacceptable this performance was. Mainly from a run-defense standpoint,β Fowler said Friday on SportsCenter. βWe know that Joe Flacco was getting his yards and JaβMarr Chase can go off when he does get one-on-one coverage. They want to clean up their matchups on the back end, but they feel like that is only elevated when you can get it done with the run defense. The Steelers have always prided themselves on that.β
