Quote:Against previously winless Tampa Bay last Sunday, the Steelers’ inconsistencies weren’t even as consistent as they had been in the one-good-half, one-bad-half win over the Browns. In losing, 27-24, to the Buccaneers, the Steelers started off the game badly and ended it badly, but in between there were spurts of competence from all three phases. Mixed in among the penalties, of course.

“When you look at it from this perspective: you’re minus in the turnover ratio, and you’re one of the most highly penalized teams in football, we probably should be thankful that we’re 2-2,” said Tomlin. “We’re not going to waste a lot of time over-analyzing that. We are what we are. We’ve done some positive things. We’ve done some negative things. We have to move forward.”

In moving forward, the Steelers go from a game at home vs. a winless team to a game on the road vs. a winless team. The 0-4 Jaguars will be starting rookie quarterback Blake Bortles, and while that typically has been a recipe for success for the Steelers and defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, the team historically has had its share of problems in Jacksonville.

“Like I told the team yesterday, there’s not a lot of time in our business for feeling disappointment,” said Tomlin about any lingering emotions over losing to the Buccaneers in the final seconds. “The more important thing for us is moving out and past that and formulating a plan for finding consistency in our game and getting better across the board.”
