Everyone remembers the famous pitch pass from Antwan Randle-El to Hines Ward. Everyone remembers last year when Santonio Holmes barely scraped his toes against the red end-zone to clinch the Steelers sixth Super Bowl title. But what a lot of people don't remember, is the Steelers famous Super Bowl slump.
This past Thursday, the Super Bowl champs lost to the putrid Cleveland Browns 13-7 (luckily it wasn't on national television). This brought their record to 6-7 and killed their hopes for the postseason. After they won the super bowl in 2006, they went 8-8 the next season and fell short of the playoffs. Each of these years they were expected to be possible Super Bowl repeats. Coach Tomlin said in this past offseason they took it easy because of the extended season after winning the Super Bowl. Hows that for being coached under a bad sign?
