Dissapointment in Kansas City

Wow, that was the feeling that swept through the Pittsburgh area on sunday night as the game winning overtime field goal flew through the uprights putting Kansas City to victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Steelers. This wow though was not one that Pittsburgh fans were happy to echo, the dissapointment that soon followed was also something that Steeler fans did not want to feel coming out of this weekend. Another game lost to a lowly opponent was not something that was needed coming off a tough loss one week earlier at home to a divisional opponent, and the feeling of sheer disgust that swept through the team was a feeling that they would rather not have for the remainder of the season. However it is losses like these that do in fact have some positives, such as a wake up call and reminder to this year's Steelers that last year was last year and regardless of who they are and were they still have to play all the games to the full 60 minutes, and in this case beyond, at their highest level. So after their dissapointment of a 27-24 loss the preparation for a huge divisional matchup with the Baltimore Ravens on sunday night football is now in the forefront of all 53 Steeler players. However in the forefront of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's mind is pain and slight dizzines, this due to the concussion he suffered in the loss in K.C. So as the Steelers now try and forget about the mishap versus the Chiefs they may also have to try and move forward for a while without their leader, thus bringing a little more pressure upon the others in the locker room to step up. This week will tell alot about this team going forward the remainder of the year.
