Steelers star absolutely blasts teammates

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the middle of a rough patch of their season. The Steelers have lost consecutive games to the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens, with a Christmas day matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs looming.

After Saturday’s loss to the Ravens, one Steelers star did not hold back in his assessment of what’s going on with the team, and many of his teammates probably won’t like hearing what he had to say.

“I don’t even think it was trying to be Superman. I think it was just trying to make a play for the game. Just not trusting your teammates,” Queen said according to Steelers reporter Nick Farabaugh.

“So, like I said, the game’s just late in the year. You gotta be on one stream. You gotta be on one accord. Everybody gotta be doing their job at a high level. If they ain’t doing their job at a high level, then shit’s gonna get ugly real quick with the teams that’s coming up.”

Queen was then asked how to deal with the ups and downs throughout the season.

“You just gotta come in Monday, whatever, and just go to work and be accountable. You’re supposed to be in the meeting room, be in the meeting room. If you’re supposed to be in practice, do what you’re supposed to do in practice. Everybody’s supposed to be accountable. We’re all grown men. Starting from the top to the bottom. You just gotta be accountable to your teammates.

“If you ain’t doing this for your brother, you ain’t trying to see your brother succeed by you just doing your job. You’re doing a disservice to the team, to the organization, to the fans. So, like I said, we gotta take a long look when you’re a personal individual and see where the team wanna go.

“If we don’t all follow on the same page, then you just gotta get off the show.”

It’ll be interesting to see how the Steelers respond on Wednesday against the Chiefs.
