Riding a three game win-streak, these are the Steelers I'm used to. Forcing turnovers and three and outs, big play's from Big Ben and Troy being Troy, the only word used to describe today's game was "fun".
Ben Roethlisberger should be in trade rumors more often, because he has been lights out ever since he almost gave Steeler Nation a heart attack. Leading his team to a third straight victory, and a 5-6 record, the Steelers are inching closer and closer to .500, and a spot to clinch a division that's struggling this year, the AFC North.
The Steelers have had a complete turnaround since their 0-4 record to start the year. Mostly all of Steeler fans had given up on them (including me), but Steeler Nation should know better than anybody, our Steelers will grind out every play until Week 17. Now, pushing to a 5-6 record, it's hard to imagine the playoffs without the Renegade. The question still remains, "What did the Steelers do to turn this team around?", thats easy, turnovers. For the past two weeks the offense hasn't turned the ball over once, while the defense has had four turnovers in the past 6 quarters. Another factor is the offensive line. DeCastro is finally stepping up and so is the rest of the O-Line.
Now, "What about Jarvis Jones". Jarvis Jones is playing good, but not up to the potential he was hyped as, and thats perfectly fine. Name me a rookie that has mastered Dick LeBeau's defense their rookie year, huh? Thats right. The Steelers maybe riding a three game winning streak, but the real contest comes this Thursday night, against the Ravens. Steeler Nation... the whole season rides on this Thursday!
