19. Pittsburgh Steelers (17) – Play Monday Night against Tampa Bay

Something is seriously wrong with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Already dealing with the Le’Veon Bell holdout, they had more drama this past week. Antonio Brown got a little bothered by a comment on Twitter stating much of his success came from the team he was one. He responded that he should be traded and that way he could show how good he was. Then, he didn’t show up to work.

Head coach Mike Tomlin brushed it off after AB finally showed back up and his excuse was he gets mad when they aren’t winning. Yes, this was just about winning. Because we all know, the best way to get over a slow start is to quit showing up to work.

Add this to an offseason that featured Ben Roethlisberger freaking out about the team drafting quarterbacks in back-to-back seasons (after he hinted at retiring) and you see a pattern. For as much love as Mike Tomlin gets as a head coach, he’s losing control of the team. Their discipline is non-existent and there are way more people looking out for themselves rather than the team.

They need a win on Monday Night Football against a suddenly hot Tampa Bay team, or things could really start falling apart fast.
