The Pittsburgh Steelers won their first two games of the season a year ago, and three of their first four. That’s not necessarily a slow start if you look at it on paper. The general rule is that you want to win every quarter of the season. If you go at least 3-1 through every four games, you finish with at least a 12-4 record and are probably in line for a high seed.
The Steelers managed that last year, but it was still laborious. And quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is not having it. He knows they need to play better this season than they did at the start of the last campaign, and that goes especially for the offensive side of the ball.
