Two years ago the Steelers seemed to be a team everybody loved. They had their improbable run to win the Super Bowl. Jerome Bettis played the last game of his career in his hometown for the Super Bowl victory and Big Ben stepped in and became a young quarterback worth discussing.
Last year they failed to make the playoffs. Big Ben had a horrible season throwing more interceptions than touchdowns and missing games due to a motorcycle accident and an appendectomy.
This year they were under the radar after last season's performance. They weren't talked about much. And this year they are playing like they did in 2005. Ben is throwing the ball accurately and taking control of his offense. The defense is shutting other teams down consistently. The running game isn't as strong as a typical Steeler team but it is still strong. Who should credit for this year be going to? Should we give credit to Big Ben for taking a bigger leadership role? The defense for getting the offense the ball? The coaches for giving the offense more freedom? Tell me what you think and how far the Steelers will go? You certainly have to consider a strong playoff run with their dominance of the Eagles in last night's game.
