NASHVILLE — That the Pittsburgh Steelers sit atop the AFC North standings after two weeks is surprising in itself. But how they got there is nothing short of mind boggling.
They’ve won two games, but have scored only one offensive touchdown.

That's exactly what we, as fans, have always said.They play much better when everyone doubts them and they have a chip on their shoulder. So I hope everyone keeps doubting and keeps hating. :tt03:
