The Steelers’ season seemed doomed when Big Ben went down and they lost three straight games.
Losing to rivals, the New England Patriots in Week 1 wasn’t unexpected, but getting smashed 33-3 was. Then, getting edged out by both the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers came as a shock to the system. In hindsight, the close loss to the 49ers with a newly-minted starting QB at the helm actually wasn’t so bad. As it turns out, the Niners might just be the best team in the league.
But since the early losing streak, things have gotten back to normal in Steeler Town.
