The Steelers were one of the hottest teams in the NFL and remained on top of the NFC North all season long. But the Steelers hit a wall at the wrong time. They came into their AFC Wild Card matchup on a four-game losing streak. After their loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday, their regular season came to a conclusion with five straight losses.

Steelers Fans Involved in Huge Brawl After Loss to Ravens
Steelers fans were understandably frustrated after another bitter loss in the playoffs. And unfortunately, that led to them taking out their frustrations — on each other.
One fan-captured video showed Steelers fans involved in a huge brawl after the loss. Check it out below:
Ravens whooped us so bad, it had our own fanbase fighting each other😭 https://t.co/G3BqCXTHMd pic.twitter.com/uO0c74oLEj

People on Twitter went crazy with their reactions.
"Ravens whooped us so badly, it had our own fanbase fighting each other," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Derrick Henry got them crashing out. He broke them boys," another fan added.
Media Pundit Named Brian Flores as Ideal Tomlin Replacement
Fans were also upset with the Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin. Tomin has been one of the more successful coaches in the league during the regular season. In fact, he has not had a losing season in his career. But when it comes to the season, the lights have appeared to be too bright. After the Steelers' loss to the Ravens, Tomlin has lost six consecutive wins in the postseason with his last victory coming in 2017.
Despite his regular season success, fans are growing tired of the Steelers being stuck on a hamster wheel and are ready to part ways with Tomlin. One media pundit believes Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores could be the perfect replacement.
"Flores has a history in Pittsburgh. He served as a senior defensive assistant and the team's linebackers coach in 2022 before getting the defensive coordinator job in Minnesota," Jarrett Bailey of SB Nation writes.
"He would bring instant credibility and a new ideology to the defense, while also being able to bring offensive assistants from the great Vikings' offensive staff along with him. It would also heighten the likelihood for the Steelers to land Sam Darnold in the offseason, especially if Josh McCown is brought over as offensive coordinator. "
