Who would have thought that the Pittsburgh Steelers, off the scrap heat, uncovered a Pro Bowler in the aftermath of an ugly Hall of Fame game in 2015, a game in which the playing surface was in such poor shape that it contributed to their kicker, Shaun Suisham, suffering what proved to be a career-ending ACL tear?

That is what happened, eventually, and officially, as of yesterday, as the team’s current placekicker, third-year Chris Boswell, was named to the Pro Bowl along with seven of his teammates, the most that the team has had in a since season in over a decade.
