Don’t worry, Steelers Nation. It’s a near statistical impossibility that the Pittsburgh Steelers will end up with a losing season this year. After all, there have been 18 seasons in a row where Pittsburgh has avoided being called losers.
Unfortunately, it’s also been almost that long since they have been called National Football League champions. In fact, they’ve only won the AFC North Division once in the past seven years.
Very un-Steelersesque. Although it’s hard to tell precisely what Steeleresque is these days.
If you’re hoping Pittsburgh will be able to reclaim its identity once again as a hard-nosed defense this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, you’re drowning in your own delusion.
