Russell Wilson's disastrous stretch continues with a Christmas Day blunder vs. Chiefs

Well, this isn't exactly the Christmas gift Steelers fans were hoping for. After embarrassing back-to-back losses against the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh needed a bounce-back performance against the Kansas City Chiefs.

So far, this has been a holiday nightmare.

On the first two drives of the game, the Steelers mustered up just one yard on eight plays. This continued a sickening stretch Pittsburgh had to begin the game against the Ravens last week. After the defense failed to slow down the Chiefs, it was the offense's turn to let fans down.

Just when it looked like the Steelers had a chance to string together their first touchdown drive of the game, Darnell Washington was tagged for a holding call. On the very next play, quarterback Russell Wilson threw an interception in the endzone to safety Justin Reid.

This was a forced decision and continues a run of over-aggressive plays from the 36-year-old quarterback. On this play, George Pickens was running wide open, but Wilson failed to notice him, instead throwing the ball into a crowd in the middle of the endzone.

Steelers must find an offensive rhythm

Wilson was already careless with the football early against the Chiefs as he nearly lost a fumble. Last week against the Ravens, Wilson coughed up the ball near the goal line and threw a game-wrecking pick-six to cornerback Marlon Humphry.

This marks three games in a row in which the offense has failed to sustain drives and take care of the football. Their inability to control the clock against the Eagles resulted in the defense getting gassed, while the turnovers last week blew any chance of upsetting the Ravens.

The Pittsburgh Steelers need to figure things out fast, but if Wilson keeps playing like this, Mike Tomlin's team will be one-and-done in the NFL Playoffs.
