Most of the time the Pittsburgh Steelers are connected to the word “history”, it comes with positive connotations. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case every time, however. Last week, they became the first team in NFL history who lost to two teams at least eight games under .500 as a team with a winning record.
That dubious accomplishment came with the immense assistance of the Arizona Cardinals, who spotted them a late-surge blowout last Sunday, followed by an embarrassment by the New England Patriots on Thursday. They pulled away early and hung on late, topping off at 21-3 but finishing 21-18.
