A funny thing happens when you lose games. People start questioning you and doubting you, even if you never do that yourself. Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers came into Sunday’s game riding a three-game losing streak while clearing not having played their best ball over the course of the past month, they never actually stopped believing, as a team, in their ability to be great.
Things really seemed to bottom out last Monday when they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals, who had just two wins at that point and were starting their backup quarterback to their backup quarterback, second-year Ryan Finley.
