Steelers Team Report
(Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:25:23 PST)

It's tough to call a 12-4 record a disappointment, but Pittsburgh is one of the few places you can do so. The Steelers fought through major injuries throughout their lineup to compile that mark, barely failing to win the AFC North Division and a No. 1 or 2 playoff seed.

Then came the debacle in Denver in the first playoff game when, heavily favored, the Steelers were upset by Tim Tebow and the Broncos.

One drive cost them the No. 1 seed in the AFC—a 92-yarder by Baltimore in Heinz Field on Nov. 6 that ended in a Ravens touchdown with eight seconds left and a 23-20 loss for the Steelers.

In reality, though, this was not a strong Pittsburgh team, and it beat only one tough opponent, the Patriots.
