Slow down there partner. Steelers scored 3 points aginst KC, and a garbage time TD. Don't pretend like old Ben having an ok 2 or 3 games in the passing game negates how horrible the Steelers offense is. Coming into this week the Steelers don't have a first half TD the last six games. Shit, they haven't even had a 20+ point game since... I don't even remember.

Steelers are 30th in rushing, and ranked bottom 8 in total offense this year

Their defense is more likely to catch a cold than stop the run.

And the Browns defense are going to put Big Ben in a casket for his final game at Ketchup Field.

Steelers have been a slow start all season.  Even in blowouts, the offense starts coming along late in the game.  When the defense shows up, the offense has been able to finish games.  I.E. - outscoring the Ravens 17-9 in the 4th Qtr on 12/5 for a 20-19 win, outscoring the Titans 16-0 in the 2nd Half on 12/19 for a 19-13 win.  When the defense is getting torched all game is when those comebacks fall short.  I.E. - outscoring the Chargers 27-14 in the 4th Qtr to lose 41-37 on 11/21, and outscoring the Viking 21-7 in the 4th Qtr on 12/9 to lose 36-28.  

Chiefs are on an 8 game winning streak, and held the 7-3 Cowboys to 9 points (3 FG's) when they faced them during this stretch.  So, it's just odd to point to that specific opponent as an excuse to call Pittsburgh an "embarrassment to the league".

You're awfully optimistic of the Browns prospects on the road when they only scored 10 points in a loss at home against Pittsburgh earlier this season, by the way.

I apologize
