How good are the 2019 Steelers? Good enough to be 4-1 at this point.
How bad are they? Well, they're actually 1-4.
That's the harsh reality staring this team in the face right now after Sunday's latest defeat, 26-23 in overtime to the Ravens at Heinz Field.
This is a team talented enough, even without Ben Roethlisberger, to hang with anyone not, apparently, named the Patriots. They've shown that in their three losses since the opener, losing those three games to the Seahawks, 49ers and Ravens by a combined nine points.
