    As per Steelers.com "The Steelers currently hold the longest streak of most consecutive games with a takeaway at 14 games."

    It seems like not that long ago they couldn't buy a turnover with a fistful of dollars in a pastry shop.

    I'm counting on Bortles to continue this in a big way

    I do too. They've done pretty well for the most part so far.

    If Bortles has to play catch up, we could see 3 picks Sunday. (Also have Pitt D in fantasy)

    And the texans rookie QB destroyed a dick lebeau led defense sunday by hanging 57 points on him, there are anomalies week to week in the NFL where perfect events line up for one game but wont happen again the rest of the season.....

    I picked up Deshaun Watson to start on my fantasy league this week, since Cousins is on bye. Ben is my other QB (2 QB league).

    I hope Watson does well... for the sake of the Steelers regarding playoff seeding. If Texans can upset Chiefs and Steelers win vs. Jax, Steelers will have #1 seed for a week. I know it's not much considering we have 3/4 of the season left, but it's nice not being in catch-up mode.

    If Steelers can take care of business and beat the Chiefs in week 6, that will give them some margin for error moving forward. Because we know the Titans are going to upset the Steelers, just like the Bears did in week 3. :facepalm: Me = Nostradamus

    I started him last week, I destroyed my opponent. Hes not coming out of my lineup until he has a clunker.

    If Watson can continue this arc, Texans may be the team to beat. KC will be a good measuring stick. All the Texans needed last year was a QB to go along with that defense.

    Lets see if we can even this up, I thought no way they lose to the Bears :blush:

    Im not as confident with the Titans but still think we can squeak out a win.

    Some are worried because I picked Jax to lose. The game is at Heinz Field. Relax people. Steelers usually play good at home in October.

    Picking the Ravens last week was nothing unconventional, even for an optimistic fan. Ravens have owned the Steelers in Baltimore, until now. Hope we can say the same about Foxboro someday, but we may not have to worry about it if the Patriots end up with a worse record. At least the Steelers have beaten the Pats at Heinz, AGAINST Brady.

    I remember that game like it was yesterday. Steelers had a chance to win in OT and Maddox throws a pick 6. The next day, many Steelers fans posted pics on the net of household items that were destroyed in the aftermath.

    Wasn't that 2003? 2005 was Ben's first superbowl run.

    last time i saw the jags in pittsburgh Fred Taylor ran for 230 yards and four tds against us. The fact that he won me $100 in my fantasy pool that week onlly softened the sting of defeat a little.

    When the Steelers signed Maddox, Jimmy Johnson said, "They'll find out soon enough why he is called Turnover Tommy." He sure was correct.
