After a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tyler Shough's teammates expressed concern that they are putting too much pressure on him. Pro Bowl center Erik McCoy emphasized the need for the team to support Shough, highlighting the unrealistic demands placed on him without a strong run game. Shough completed 30 of 38 passes for 278 yards and a touchdown but faced challenges, including a red zone interception and a fumble.
