It’s the middle of January, right at the heart of winter in Pittsburgh—and in Foxboro. Flu season is upon us, and, unfortunately, it’s also upon the Pittsburgh Steelers, as several players, and reportedly other members of the organization, are being taken down with the illness, at virtually the worst possible time.
The Steelers, of course, are in the preparation phase of taking on the Patriots up in Foxboro in the AFC Championship game, for which they will be traveling shortly. But the flu bug has been sweeping the locker room and knocking players out of practice.
