Ryan Clark goes off on Steelers disappointing loss to Cowboys
Following a last-second loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers fell to 3-2 on the season. The win was the first over Pittsburgh in the regular season for the Mike McCarthy-era Cowboys. While Steelers starting quarterback Justin Fields struggled in the contest, his team had the lead in the fourth quarter.
Former Pittsburgh defender and current TV analyst Ryan Clark went off on his old team following the loss. “I want to talk about my disappointment with the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Clark said via NFL on ESPN. “You have the lead 17-13 late in that game in your stadium and you’re supposed to be the vaunted Pittsburgh Steelers defense. Make a stop. Find a way to get a hand on a football. Find a way to get a turnover. Find a way to get to Dak Prescott,” Clark continued.
“I felt like the Steelers lost this game more than the Dallas Cowboys won it. And the Steelers aren’t good enough to allow some of these games to slip away,” Clark continued, per NFL on ESPN.
