PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers are reeling following two painful losses. Pittsburgh now sits at 7-6 after falling to lowly Arizona and New England in a span of five days. The Steelers never led against the Patriots while letting the NFL’s lowest-scoring offense score three first-half touchdowns. A second-half rally fell short as Pittsburgh dropped out of the AFC’s top wild-card spot. The Steelers have dropped three of four, with two of the losses coming in games decided by three points. Pittsburgh’s closing stretch begins with a visit to Indianapolis on Dec. 16.
