For the last couple of years, the Pittsburgh Steelers have entered the season with high hopes, and Super Bowl aspirations. Each year, those hopes and dreams have been tarnished by a series of unfortunate injuries, especially last year.
Last season, the Pittsburgh Steelers were a team that no one expected to win the Super Bowl, but still no one wanted to play them. They had an offense capable of torching any defense in the league, proven in Week 15 when they scored 34 points against the best defense in football, and eventual Super Bowl champions, Denver Broncos.
Instead, the Steelers witnessed three stars suffer injuries that limited or ended their seasons at important points.
