Pittsburgh, PA – As the hours tick down towards the matchup between the Houston Texans and the Pittsburgh Steelers, head coach/general manager/football czar Bill O’Brien seemed a bit short-tempered, even more so than usual. There is much for him to consider. The team is coming off its second consecutive second place finish in an NFL contest, this time to the Baltimore Ravens. BO’B quickly noted some of the defensive improvements, especially the 20 less rushing yards allowed from the previous year’s match-up, as well as an 8-point defensive improvement (and a 1-point improvement from the second-place finish against Kansas City in Week 1).
