Despite each year containing its own unique storylines, there’s been one constant through each of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ past seven seasons. The team can ill-afford to make it an eighth. Losing its last two games against the Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers, the Steelers could drop their third-straight game with a Week 9 defeat against the Indianapolis Colts.
If so, it would mark – incredibly – the eighth-straight season the Steelers have lost three games in a row during the course of a regular season. A remarkable achievement, in all the worst ways, for a team that has enjoyed a non-losing season in each of those years.
