You didn’t think the Pittsburgh Steelers could get much worse than an opening week tie vs. the Cleveland Browns?

Week 2 proved to have an even stronger odor, as the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes came into Heinz Field and treated the Pittsburgh defense as if it were a High School JV squad.

Needless to say, the Steelers are experiencing a precipitous drop in the weekly NFL Power Rankings because of their poor play which has resulted in a 0-1-1 record heading into Week 3.

In reality, these rankings mean nothing, but they’re great for conversation and debate. This week, the Steelers saw themselves plummet out of the Top 10, and they’re barely clinging to 10th in only one of the major, weekly rankings.

With a Week-3 matchup with the red-hot Tampa Bay Buccaneers looming on Monday Night Football, the Steelers, who will be on the road in Florida, need to put up a good performance to help resurrect their rankings status.

“Well, we know this: The defense stinks to high hell. Sure, the Chiefs’ attack is potent, but Pittsburgh certainly carries a few problems on D. Meanwhile, Ben Roethlisberger and the offense ran about 1,000 plays Sunday and tallied up gobs of yards and points -- 37 points, to be precise. At home. And it still wasn’t sufficient. Patrick Mahomes riddled the secondary. And in case that weren’t enough, Kansas City rushed for 127 yards, at a clip of 5 yards per tote. Won’t be fun to be defensive coordinator Keith Butler this week. Especially with Ryan Fitz-Marino coming to town.”
