PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers coordinator Todd Haley said he considers the 30-9 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Oct. 8 a turning point for his offense. Pittsburgh went on to win eight straight games after that meeting, losing only to the New England Patriots in mid-December.

Haley thinks they've gotten better because of that day.

"That game for our entire group was a watershed moment. A lot of outside factors that could have been divisive for our group," Haley said. "Take my hat off for my guys. They stuck together. Bad football, probably not as bad as it appeared.
