At 3-3, Steelers' Season At A Crossroads
PITTSBURGH (93-7 The Fan) - After consecutive .500 seasons and now a 3-3 start, is it time to write off another season?
The Steelers will tell you, they are not about to. After all, 10 games remain in their 2014 NFL schedule. That is plenty of time to shift the course of a season that has disappointed many, themselves and fans, included.
So far, there have been losses to the Buccaneers and the Brown, struggles in the red zone and the inability to slow an opposing offense. The list does not end there.
Over the past nine quarters, the Steelers offense has recorded just two touchdowns.
The opponents in those games? Tampa Bay, Jacksonville and Cleveland.
"We just need to score touchdowns," running back Le'Veon Bell said. "We move the ball a lot; get all the way down the field. We just don't finish the drives a lot of times [because] of either a penalty or turnover, whatever it may be. We got to find a way to execute and get the ball in the end zone."
With a 3-3 Houston team on the horizon for Monday Night Football – also looking to turn its season around – the Steelers' fight for a winning record and a return to the playoffs for the first time since Tim Tebow sent them home during the 2011 postseason could be decided over the next three games. Following the Texans, Pittsburgh will face Andrew Luck and the Colts and then a Baltimore team that already whipped the Steelers this season, 26-6.
"I think we're totally fine with where we're at right now," center Maurkice Pouncey said. "Yea, we made a couple mistakes, and we wish we did a couple things differently and easily could have won a lot more football games. [If] we win this game on Monday night, we just gotta keep stacking [wins] and keep going in the right direction."
