It’s funny what becomes the new normal in life and even in the sports world. If you would have told me two weeks ago that the Steelers would start out 0-2, lose quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for the rest of the season, and then trade a future top pick away for the first time since 1967 in-order to acquire someone who wasn’t a veteran quarterback, I would have laughed in your face.
But here we are. This is the new normal. While the Steelers are still trying to remain relevant in 2019 by acquiring Minkah Fitzpatrick in-order to improve their secondary, the rest of the football world is assuming they will wither away to double-digit losers.
