Steelers vs. Redskins second half open thread

The Steelers trail the host Redskins 17-6 after a poor first half of play.

Steelers fans will likely be chanting "it's only the preseason" until they go to sleep tonight.

That may not help.

It was a particularly ugly first half for the Steelers, as they fell behind 17-6 to the host Washington Redskins in a half that saw three turnovers and two more quarters without an offensive touchdown.

The Steelers offensive line appeared to reach new lows, as they were savaged repeatedly by a quality defensive effort from Washington.

Here are the first half stats.
