Which led to something terrible Blame: The team's Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns took a toll on players and fans alike.
While much debate over who is more directly responsible for the 24-19 loss to Cleveland has resulted in several prominent names being left out of the loop, such as HC OC Arthur Smith, QB Russell Wilson and P Corliss Waitman, former Steelers All-Pro RB tired of hearing it.
This blame game has recently turned into a Tomlin witch hunt, with fans calling for the head coach to be fired. Bell, who spent most of his career under Tomlin's leadership, recently made it clear on social media that any fans calling for the coach's firing are “not real Steelers fans.”
“Fire miKe TomLiN,” they say, well, I say…

Of everything Bell touched on, the truest statement he made is that everyone is clearly overreacting to the Steelers' loss in Week 12. Within a few weeks, fans will forget that bitter loss and 3-8 can prove why the 2024 season will finally result in a deep playoff run.
