Starting a season 2-0 might not seem like much, but it is something the Pittsburgh Steelers have only done eight times over the last 25 years. That spans the entire career of Ben Roethlisberger and several years with elite defenses. Teams that start 2-0 go on to make the playoffs about 63 percent of the time. That jumps up to nearly 75 percent if they make it to 3-0. That is something the Steelers have only done three times since the turn of the century.
Despite the good start, not everybody believes in this Steelers team. Some are leaning toward them being one of the 37 percent to start 2-0 and not make the playoffs.
