NFL power rankings: Chiefs stay hot in Week 6, 49ers stay low
By Peter Panacy
What was that, Steelers? And what was that, Ben Roethlisberger?
A 30-9 loss to the Jaguars is bad enough, and Roethlisberger’s quarterbacking generated five interceptions — two of them of the pick-six variety — which is oh-so uncharacteristic of the veteran quarterback.
“Maybe I don’t have it anymore,” Roethlisberger lamented after the game, via NFL.com. “I’m not playing well enough.”
Well, we won’t jump to that quick-take conclusion just yet, and the Steelers won’t fall out of the top 10 in this week’s NFL power rankings. The weapons are still there, and we can’t overlook wide receiver Antonio Brown’s 157 receiving yards either.
But still, all isn’t right with the Steelers, who have the 19th-ranked scoring offense in the league.
Uncharacteristic indeed.
