We lost more than that.
Roethlisberger tore his meniscus
"There's no initial estimate for Roethlisberger's return, as the timetable will likely depend on what his doctors see when they get a closer look during surgery. He'll have his meniscus trimmed rather than repaired, potentially allowing for a return within a few weeks, whereas the full repair could be season-ending."

He's already doing some individual practices and plans on doing team practices next week. After having knee surgery 8 days ago.
I almost want to say let Landry Jones play against the Ravens after the bye even if he is ready to go.
Maybe have Roethlisberger play back-up QB like he did against the Browns last year.

How so? Baltimore lost to the Jets and Steelers are 1-0 in the division with a win over Cinci.
And you know Browns...
Though they need to fix their horrible defense. I hate this bend and don't break. What's the point of having a high powered offense if the other team is taking 8 minute drives

I don't think the season is over, but it will definitely be a harder road to the playoffs. The real story is, Ben is getting old and it's time to think about a replacement. It's actually a great time to have this happen. So you can give a young player real reps and groom him for the future. Many have said Landry isn't the QB you'll ride with for the future. Another good thing, as you have stated, is the division is soft and Baltimore is fake and bad.

Landry is definitely not the future QB. Not quite time to think about a replacement. Maybe a few years down the road. Right now he's playing great. Before he got injured he led the league in TD passes with 16. Is currently tied for 2nd.

Yep, it just seems like the lower extremity injuries are becoming more and more prevalent for him. It sucks but it's the nature of the business. His tenure is coming to a close.

yeah steelers have a super high powered offense.
you have antonio brown. THE best WR in the league with NO ONE to throw the ball to him.
leaving them with one of the best RB in the league and a super predictable game plan.
he can still make plays and run the ball pretty damn good but he can't win games on his own.
they still have all the other huge problems they had before. most notably, defense.
okay, their season isn't over, but its not looking very good at all right now.
also, what is the timetable for big ben return?

Hell of a game between the Cowboys and Steelers! This game won't mean a thing by the end of the year after you snap off Baltimore.

Hope so.
Though with the way that they're playing I don't see them doing too hot in the play offs.
If the Defense can play like they did against the Browns they could be a threat. The problem is they don't play the Browns every game..
If Sammie Coates can get back in and be a factor they could become a threat.
If they could finish drives instead of kicking FG's they would be better.
If Tomlin would stop making dumb decisions they could be better.
We'll see how they do next week.
