Although they’re making a strong second-half push and could realistically go at least 6-3 in their final nine games, if not 7-2, the Pittsburgh Steelers are staring down the possibility of having their worst season since 2003.
Lose one more game and they’re looking at a losing record, something that hasn’t happened in the Steel City since they drafted quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. It wouldn’t be a shock if the first one comes the year after he retired.
But it hasn’t been all bad, by any means. In fact, there’s been a lot of good football played this year.
