The Pittsburgh Steelers have been a heavily controversial team this season among members of the media as well as the sports world in general due to their current record in relation to their play on the field. The Steelers had been struggling mightily on the offensive side of the ball for most of the season, getting outgained in their first ten games of the season by their opponents while their defense surrendered plenty of yards themselves to opposing offenses.
This lead many, including Los Angeles Lakers star forward LeBron James to call out the Steelers for being the worst 6-3 team ever at the time, stating that they are winning games, but not in a pretty or sustainable fashion.
