For the first time since 2002 the Steelers will start the season at 0-2, after dropping a 20-10 contest to division rivals at Paul Brown Stadium.

20-10 seems like a manageable score, but the truth is that makes it look closer than it was. Ben Roethlisberger played a poor game. He was under heavy pressure all night (when hasn’t that been the case) and even when he had time to throw his passes were long and or high.

For the second straight week the Steelers failed to establish any semblance of a running game, and its defense was held without a turnover, and without a sack.

Its going to be a long season Steelers Nation. Steel Curtain Rising will hang in for the duration, but it is 1:24 here in Buenos Aires, and work beckons tomorrow morning. Stay tuned for more!
