So it is what it is,&#8221; Pickett said Wednesday of Pittsburgh&#8217;s struggles in a 30-7 loss to San Francisco, via the team&#8217;s official site. &#8220;It&#8217;s 24-hour rule. Same as if you win. You can&#8217;t celebrate too long. You can&#8217;t dwell on the loss too long and let it beat you twice. So that&#8217;s the main takeaway.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Mike Tomlin: Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hamstring) &#x27;probably unavailable&#x27; vs. Browns            <\/li>\n<li>              Steelers DE Cam Heyward (groin) to miss multiple weeks, likely headed to injured reserve            <\/li>\n<li>              Steelers HC Mike Tomlin on worst home loss of his career: &#x27;We got kicked in the teeth&#x27;            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Coach Mike Tomlin believes it won&#8217;t take his team long to right the ship. Their next opportunity to do so comes in front of a national audience, when the Steelers host the division-rival Browns on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>The going won&#8217;t be easy. The Browns are, simply, looking quite good after one game into Jim Schwartz&#8217;s tenure as Cleveland&#8217;s defensive coordinator. Cleveland&#8217;s defense dominated in the Browns&#8217; 24-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1, limiting \ufeffJoe Burrow\ufeff &#8212; the NFL&#8217;s new highest-paid player &#8212; to just 82 passing yards and the worst completion percentage over expected of his career (-13.9 percent), per Next Gen Stats.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns&#8217; revamped pass rush, meanwhile, made for a nightmare of a day for Burrow, sacking him twice and pressuring him on 36.4 percent of dropbacks. On such snaps, Burrow completed just 2 of 10 passes for 22 yards and a passer rating of 39.6, only slightly worse than his total passer rating of 52.2.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To be blunt, I thought the corners won the game for them last week,&#8221; Tomlin said, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. &#8220;Their ability to stand on the line of scrimmage and challenge the Cincinnati Bengals, I thought, was really impressive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pickett labored through Pittsburgh&#8217;s blowout loss, throwing two interceptions in a pass-heavy game. He knows he missed some early opportunities and made some avoidable mistakes. He&#8217;s also well aware of the fact he cannot afford another clunker of an outing if the Steelers hope to get back on track.<\/p>\n<p>Tomlin knows better than to think this is the start of a freefall into irrelevance for the young passer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s football justice when you work at it, man,&#8221; Tomlin said of Pickett. &#8220;You generally get good things that come out of it. This is a guy that&#8217;s fully committed. This is a guy that works his tail off, and largely, man, those guys create their own fortune.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s reasonable to expect guys that work the way he works and prepares the way he prepares to bounce back from a negative performance. Individually and collectively, I expect this group to do similar things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that it&#8217;s only Week 1 for the Steelers. Sixteen more games await them, including a suddenly important meeting with the Browns. If Pickett is going to live up to the high expectations set for him by a strong preseason showing, he can make quite a statement by finding a way to succeed against a defense that is off to a hot start.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/kenny-pickett-steelers-look-to-get-back-on-track-against-stingy-browns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pittsburgh Steelers would like to forget their season-opening loss as quickly as possible.
