PITTSBURGH -- There's no 4-0 team in the NFL for the first time since 1970, so the consensus is there is no dominant team.
But I disagree. Football pundits aren't looking hard enough, because the league's lone dominant franchise resides in Pittsburgh.
The Steelers (3-1) have been winning quietly and playing at less than 100-percent capacity without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5536), who is returning this week from a four-game suspension. Still, they are 32 seconds away from being 4-0, which virtually throws out the aforementioned stat everyone wants to talk about.
Don't let a late Joe Flacco (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=11252) touchdown pass fool you: Pittsburgh is elite. Now at full strength, Pittsburgh is ready to show its dominance Sunday against the Cleveland Browns (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/cle/cleveland-browns) (1-4).
Here is why the Steelers are the NFL's most dominant team:.............
