Watch Steelers embarrassingly celebrate while…

The Pittsburgh Steelers took a beat down from the Chiefs but the scoreline wasn’t quite as embarrassing as players taunting and celebrating while down big.

The Steelers‘ hopes of making the playoffs dimmed significantly on Sunday as they were blown out by Kansas City.

The Chiefs jumped out to a 30-0 lead early in the third quarter, leaving the outcome of the game pretty obvious.

It was an embarrassing performance across the board for Pittsburgh, but a couple of players added to the head-shaking with their antics.

Steelers players are being called out for celebrating at the wrong times

Take Ahkello Witherspoon, the defensive back who did a dance in the endzone after an incomplete pass while his team was down 23-0.

Fans were not happy to see that one.

Defensive players weren’t the only ones making strange decisions in the game. Wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud actually drew a taunting penalty after a first down catch with the Steelers trailing 30-0.

Whether or not you agree with the penalty (head coach Mike Tomlin didn’t), a receiver has no business doing anything even close to taunting while behind by that much. Fans let him have it on Twitter.

Some Steelers players handled the loss better than others. Cam Heyward was praised for not celebrating during the game.

There’s never a good way to lose a game big. No matter what fans will be furious. But Steelers players have been the subject of this discussion before.

Chase Claypool was literally in hot water for celebrating during a drive as the seconds ticked away just a couple of weeks ago.

Mike Tomlin has to figure out a way to get his team to play smarter and more disciplined. It may have already cost them a shot at the playoffs.
