Ben Roethlisberger's recent surgery only reinforced the conventional wisdom surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers these days: It's looking like a season with low expectations.
The Baltimore Ravens are the defending Super Bowl champions. The Cincinnati Bengals perhaps are the AFC's trendiest team.
The Steelers are aware of what the outside world is saying, but their expectations haven't changed. Defensive lineman Brett Keisel believes the team can get back to the Super Bowl.
"People can say and believe what they want to believe," Keisel told Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Monday. "But in this locker room, we feel we have the team and the talent to get back and our first goal is to get back and win our division. Good things have happened around here when we won our division ... that's our mentality,"
As it should be. It all comes back to Roethlisberger, who might be the most underrated player of his generation. The defense is shifting gears, but it still ranked first in yards allowed and sixth in points allowed last year.
