It's Dalton's health. If he's healthy, I don't see a single team we can't beat.
And the Steelers last 3 wins have all been against backup quarterbacks. They beat the Luck-less Colts. The Manning-less Broncos. And the Dalton-less Bengals.
When the Steelers play against teams with winning records that have their actual 1st string QB, they're 1-4. Throw in their last 2 wins and they're still 3-4 against teams with winning records.
They've beaten a Broncos team, that and Arizona are really their only BIG wins. They struggle against teams with legit quarterbacks. Heck. They almost lost to the Raiders.
That offense is great. But that secondary is dreadful.
I still take the Patriots over them. With Dalton, I take the Bengals over them. That secondary isn't built to stop any legit quarterback.
