Roethlisberger, starting RT Chukwuma Okorafor, starting TE Pat Freiermuth, and their other top WRs (Chase Claypool, and Pro-Bowler Diontae Johnson) also missed games with injury.
On Defense they lost their two starting DTs before the season even started, former Pro Bowl CB Joe Haden missed 5 games, and multiple other starters missed games with injury (TJ Watt, DT Chris Wormley, CB Cam Sutton, LB Alex Highsmith)
In addition to all these injury issues the Stealers also played a tougher schedule than we did.
And we only finished one-half of a game ahead of them.
Never count out the Stealers. Always put that second bullet through the head.
Agree with all of this, nice post.
Even when the Stealers suck they still win a lot of games.
