Well, that was an unmitigated disaster.
One week after winning a shootout in New York and generating some buzz in the NFL landscape, the Pittsburgh Steelers came out and dropped an ugly one to the Seattle Seahawks in the home opener, 31-17, to fall to 1-1 on the season.
The Steelers gave up nearly 400 yards of total offense to the Seahawks, had a massive kickoff return gaffe that gifted Seattle a touchdown, and generally played poorly on both sides of the football throughout the game.
In the process, the Steelers got banged up as Patrick Queen injured his ribs, Alex Highsmith and Isaiahh Loudermilk exited with injuries, and Pittsburgh largely had no answers.
