Pittsburgh Steelers fans are anxious to see how Ben Roethlisberger’s elbow will hold up this sesaon. Here’s why the news is all good so far.
Steelers fans aren’t used to a team that loses. We haven’t dealt with a losing season since 2003 – before Mike Tomlin became head coach and before Ben Roethlisberger was drafted. But last year nearly pushed us to our breaking points.
Despite possessing a defense that finished top 6 in the NFL in every statistical category, the Steelers, led by Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges, dropped three straight games to close the season last year and yet again fells short of the playoffs.
