The truth really is stranger. If you need proof of that, just look at the 2015 Steelers, who are winning with defense and a strong running game. Yeah, that's right: defense and running. Need proof? Here it is.
If I had to pick a single word to describe the Steelers' 2015 season, I know exactly what it would be.
Weird.
Really, really weird.
Okay, since I make the rules, I'm breaking them. We'll stick with those three words: really, really weird.
It's all sorts of weird just on the surface: Ben Roethlisberger missed four games and parts of three more, then got his first career win off the bench.
