The Pittsburgh Steelers only mustered up six points in a 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday and head coach Mike Tomlin was furious in his postgame press conference.
The Steelers scored two field goals in the third quarter – it was the only scoring the team did all day. Kenny Pickett left the game early with a knee injury. Pittsburgh racked up 225 total yards on 10 drives and allowed 451 yards on defense on the same number of drives.

Tomlin vowed there would be changes coming.
"Hell yeah, there's going to be changes," he said via ESPN. "That was an ugly product we put out there today, and so we’re not going to do the same things and hope for a different outcome. What those changes are, we’ll put together a plan in preparation this week."
It’s unclear what specifically that might be. Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada has come under fire in recent weeks as the offense continues to sputter. The defense, which was supposed to be the team's strong suit coming into the game, was lit up by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud.
