Mike Tomlin might just have another trick up his sleeve. After all, it wouldn't be the first time he's conjured up a way from a dreadful start to a .500 or better record.
But, given the current state of the team, which includes a plethora of injuries to key players and an offensive coordinator whose seat is so hot it could produce third-degree burns, this will -- in all likelihood -- end up being Tomlin's first losing season.
The Steelers were "smashed," as Tomlin put it, by the Bills last week. The 38-3 loss was even uglier than the score suggests.
