Those are the faces of deflated football players. Tonight the Steelers lost to the lowly, one-win, no semblance of an offense Cleveland Browns. The loss is the Steelers fifth straight and their third "surprising" loss after losing in Kansas City and at home to the Raiders (that's why they play the games). The Super Bowl seems like a lifetime ago and these Steelers, without Troy Polamalu, have not been able to execute when it matters the most. The Steelers failed to score a touchdown tonight against a team that they had beaten the previous 12 times. Ben Roethlisberger was sacked 8 times and was never able to get into a rhythm. The Steelers are now 6-7 with their playoff hopes all but shot. An amazing fall for a championship team that started the season 6-2.
