Can 17-10 Be a Thrashing? Yes

17-10 might sound like a close score and the Steelers were (theoretically) in it until the final gun.

But make no mistkae about it, the Texans thrashed the Steelers.

Sunday's game confirmed that the first three weeks foreshadowed -- the Steelers run defense is suspect, the offensive line is a seive, and Rashard Mendenhall cannot get it into gear.

The score doesn't tell the whole story.

I agree. It wasn’t as close as the score looked. Plus there were two TDs taken off the board for the Texans. While the Steelers did come back the Texans were clearly the better team.

Proud fan of Pittsburgh's professional sports teams and the Pirates too.
