In this episode of The Terrible Towel Tantrum, presented by The Red Light Sports Network, sponsored by The Million Dollar Ramble, Rudy Reyes and Troy Otradovec welcome the newest Pittsburgh Steeler, Alden Darby.  Darby was part of the San Diego Chargers practice squad, last year.  Darby is listed at 5-10, 192 pounds, and was All-Pac 12 and team captain, his senior year. He talks about his skill set and his thoughts about coming to Pittsburgh. We will discuss the Wildcard Playoff game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens.  The Ravens came to Heinz Field, as the sixth seed.  They left as the team headed to the Divisional Playoff agains the Denver Broncos. 

The Steelers were without Le'Veon Bell, and it showed over the course of the game.  The Steelers struggled to run the ball, but most of all missed the receiving threat, of Bell.  Ben Rothlisberger throw two interceptions that proved costly.  The first was a tipped ball, that eventually led to a Raven touchdown.  The second came in the end zone, that stopped a scoring threat.  Although the rushing numbers did not wow anyone, the Ravens established the running game.  It was evident, after the Rothlisberger interception.  The Ravens called a play action pass, and the defense collapsed, to the left side of the line, leaving Joe Flacco time to find and open Crockett Gilmore, for a touchdown.  Also, the defensive line did not pressure Flacco.  Flacco had time to find receivers, and did not make any mistakes, leading the Ravens, to the Wildcard win.

With the season over, what veterans do you think will return?  Did Troy Polamalu, James Harrison, and Ike Taylor play their last games at Heinz field?  There are many decisions to be made in the offseason.  The playoff game proved that they need to shore up the defensive line, and upgrade at cornerback.  Listen in or call the show.
