NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Blame it on Justin Bieber.
At least that's what a lot of Steelers fans on Twitter were doing during Sunday's surprising loss to the Jets after the pop star visited his favorite team.
Bieber, a Pittsburgh fan, met with several players during the team's Bible study session at the Steelers hotel on Saturday night. A handful of players tweeted about meeting him, and even posted pictures with him.
Sure enough, as the Steelers fell behind 17-0 in the first quarter, the hashtag #BlameBieber was trending on Twitter. Pittsburgh lost, 20-13.
Here's a sampling:
.@justinbieber please refrain from going anywhere near my team in the future. #BlameBieber #SteelerNation
