The Pittsburgh Steelers were the talk of the NFL just a couple of years ago, with the ‘Killer Bs’ on offense trying to take the league by storm. There was quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who had been there for over a decade already, but wide receiver Antonio Brown was becoming a perennial wunderkind, and running back Le’Veon Bell emerged as the top workhorse across all 32 teams.
The thinking was, this offense is simply too talented for anything short of at least one Super Bowl to be acceptable during their tenure together.
