It shouldn't be. We act like beating the Steelers 1 time is like winning the Super Bowl. That it's like beating some big level boss on a video game that is the gate to a Super Bowl.
Really...it shouldn't be that big. We play them TWICE a year. We should occasionally split with them. You figure, if we win 40% of the time against them that's 2 out of 5. We should win 8 games against them in 10 years.
Of course, we all know how pathetic our record is against them. The players know too. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy where the players put a ton of importance on it and mess the game up somehow.
But...it shouldn't be that important.
