ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- For years, the Steelers have been a team built around their stability. The system, players and coaches have remained the same, making the transition from year to year relatively stable.
It was teams such as the Bills that had constant turnover, something that happens when your franchise goes 25 years between playoff wins and 17 years between postseason appearances.
Heading into their game Sunday here at Highmark Stadium, the worm has turned. Despite winning the AFC North last season, it's the Steelers who are the team with massive turnover heading into their regular season opener, while the Bills essentially return everyone from a team that won the AFC East and advanced to the conference championship game a year ago.
