Steelers Fall Five Spots In Latest NFL.com Power Rankings

When you get blown out as a football team, you can expect the general public to sour on you pretty quickly.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism since their 30-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, having fans and media analysts alike call them a fake contender after showing so much promise in the preseason. The way they looked on offense Sunday was nothing like we saw during preseason and training camp as the Steelers had barely any positive yardage until the final drive of the first half, getting themselves on the board after San Francisco already built up a comfortable 20-0 lead.
