Stop the run and they're done.

TEN is a known quantity at this point. If they can run, they can be dangerous. Once they get down by a couple scores in the second half, and they have to give up the PA, Tannehill is basically NFL average. Not good enough to pick up his team and carry them to a win late. It's just who he is.
Ben and the Steelers are a little more puzzling. I mean look at Ben's numbers:
Rothlisberger:
C/Att Yds Avg TDs INT QBR RTG
32/49 268 5.5 2 3 51.0 67.4
And this isn't an outlier; Big Ben has been posting these kinds of numbers the entire season. He's not that efficient, and his Yds/Att ranks among the worst in the league. that QBR and Passer Rtg aren't very impressive either.
Watching the game, there's nothing wrong with his arm strength, so I don't know what's wrong with him, but he's going to have a tough time winning against better teams with those numbers.
