Steelers Again Had Issues With Their Plane

The Pittsburgh Steelers can’t seem to catch a break.

After their Week 3 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, the Steelers’ team plane was routed to Kansas City.

It appeared there were a few difficulties with the integrity of the plane, causing them to land safely before returning home.

A recent report from Ari Meriov has indicated additional difficulties with the team plane, delaying their exit from Houston.

The #Steelers once again faced plane issues, experiencing a delay this evening due to a mechanical problem with their charter plane.

They have just received clearance to return to Pittsburgh from Houston, they announced.

However, after a few hours of waiting, the Steelers were able to take off, landing safely in Pittsburgh.

The team plane is not the only issue the Steelers faced, as they lost 30-6 to the Houston Texans earlier in the day.

This was their second loss of the season, putting themselves at 2-2 as they head into their Week 5 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Ravens have started to click, standing alone atop the AFC North with a 3-1 record.

A win against the Ravens could propel the Steelers in the right direction, especially given their upcoming matchups.

However, they might have their work cut out for them, as injuries have already begun to plague their roster.

Kenny Pickett exited the game with a knee injury, which was later revealed to be unserious.

His status for this game is up in the air, and the Steelers are patiently waiting for more information.

As a historically dominant franchise, losing by over 20 points is something that the Steelers want to avoid moving forward.

Will the Steelers be able to fix their on and off-field issues in the coming weeks?
