No one should pretend to understand what Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell is going through. His struggles this season have been enormous and even Sunday night when he hits a 48-yard field goal late in the game – as well as both of his extra point tries – he missed a routine 32-yard attempt, his seventh miss of the season.

It’s hard to say what exactly prompted Boswell to delete his Twitter account Sunday night, in addition to disabling all comments on his largely stagnant Instagram page, but it’s safe to assume it had to do with the volume of harassment he was taking from Steelers fans over his poor season.

Boswell was one of the most consistent kickers in the league for the past three seasons, but something has changed and there’s no denying he is in his own head when he’s kicking. But does this give fans the right to troll him on social media? I’m not here to say. But if you wanted to run him off of Twitter, Steelers fans, you got your wish. Player interaction is one of the best things about platforms like Twitter, so it’s sad to see fans make it so a guy can’t participate.
