Just What DOES Ail the Steelers?

Our friends at Football Outsiders have turned their laser focus on the Steelers in an effort to uncover why the team has struggled recently. Or, as they say in their own words: "[T]he Steelers have lost three of their last six games, and even in the three wins they haven’t looked particularly impressive, and while their defense isn’t bad, it’s no longer dominating. So what’s happened?"

It's a very interesting take on the team's performance, and the diagnosis offered up by writer Michael David Smith is, in a word, unexpected.
