Steelers @ Cleveland: The actuals

The guess here is that things will get worse before they get better. Ben Roethlisberger will be fortunate to return to play before Christmas (the game on December 16th is our guess for his earliest possible return), and the offensive ineptitude is sure to continue until then.

Without further adieu, here are the actuals for week 12:
