It\'s a home run hire.\" WorkBest, worst of NFL Week 14: Brock Purdy, 49ers roll; Jets and Bears pull early upsets  Stock down after the loss: Coach Mike Tomlin. For the second game in a row, the Steelers came out flat against an opponent with an inferior record. After their loss to the Cardinals, some Steelers said they took their opponent too lightly. That wasn\'t the issue against the Patriots, Steelers players said Thursday.

Coming off a career-high 62 snaps against the Bills and working through a hamstring injury, Davis wasn\'t quite as effective as normal against the Niners, and the same thing could be said for the defensive front at large.
