I don't even think they beat the Bengals once.
I wish I could get behind the optimism, but we haven't swept the Steelers since 2009. In the 7 seasons after that, the Steelers swept us 4 times and obviously split the other 3.
That 2009 sweep is our only sweep of the Steelers in 14 years with Marvin. They've swept us 7 times over that span.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
