The Pittsburgh Steelers have been a disappointment so far this season, to say the least.
A trendy preseason Super Bowl pick, the Steelers lost their fourth consecutive game Sunday afternoon to the Dallas Cowboys, and they currently are 4-5 and looking up at the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North standings.
There’s no one person to blame for such a losing streak, but quarterback Ben Roethlisberger pointed the finger at the team’s collective make-up when talking to reporters after Sunday’s defeat.
“We are undisciplined and not accountable,” Roethlisberger said, per ESPN.com. “That’s why (the Cowboys) are one of the best in the business and we’re not right now.”
It’s an unfamiliar identity for a team that’s usually a top contender, and Roethlisberger wasn’t sure how it came about.
“I don’t know. Is it players? Is it coaches? I don’t know,” Roethlisberger said. “But we need to get there quick.”
Roethlisberger and the Steelers have a good chance to get back on track when they travel to Cleveland to take on the 0-10 Browns in Week 11.
