Steelers Spin: Dublin Down In Ireland
By Michael K. Reynolds
Early in the wee hours of Sunday, Irish eyes will be smiling as the National Football League shines an American spotlight on Dublin, Ireland as the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Minnesota Vikings in what should be a telling showdown.
As to whether the eyes of Steelers Nation will be smiling will require their team to tap into some more early-season good fortune, as well as take a quantum leap up in performance as they step up in class against the Vikings.
Pittsburgh is coming off a game in which the struggling New England Patriots out-yarded them 369 to 203 and bested the Steelers in every way except for ball security.
