I haven't followed PIT in a long time, so I don't know exactly what happened. My belief is that between trying to keep Big Ben and certain other players burned way too much of their salary cap, and finally the wheels came off.
But you could always count on PIT having a good, very physical defense, a strong running game and big receivers, for as long as I can remember.
These last couple years have been anomalous in my memory of the Steelers for the last 40 years.
