There's a target on the backs of the Black & Gold and it's led to the 0-2 start.
Columbus Crew SC is dealing with something new. Yes, the team is 0-2 but it's more than that.
After surprising Major League Soccer two years ago with a late run to finish third in the Eastern Conference, the Black & Gold weren't shocking any teams when the club finished second in the East and were a runner up in the MLS Cup last season.
Only two games into this year's MLS season, Crew SC is seeing what it's like to be one of the top dogs.
