Ripple Effects of Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees Injuries in NFL Week 2

Well, Week 2 of the 2019 season was, um, eventful.

And by "eventful," I mean soul-crushing for the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints. It wasn't bad enough that both teams lost Sunday, with the Saints falling to the Rams in Los Angeles and the Steelers dropping to 0-2 after losing at home to the Seattle Seahawks.

But injury was added to insult. Both the Steelers and Saints saw their (future) Hall of Fame quarterbacks leave their respective games with injuries.

And two teams with aspirations of a February trip to Miami may have seen any hopes of making it to Super Bowl LIV leave along with them.
