This is not an article about just the Pittsburgh Steelers. It is about a "rival" that has been a barnacle on the underbelly of the National Football League for 16 sad, grueling seasons. A few years after Art Modell moved his Cleveland Browns to Baltimore, effectively destroying what was left of the fans and the city's football landscape, the franchise was reborn due to league expansion.

The much maligned Steelers secondary came into Sunday afternoon's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars looking for a spark. Of all places, they got it from a reserve cornerback, who was simply battling for a roster spot this Summer in training camp. Brice McCain's 23-yard interception return for a touchdown extended the Steelers tenuous one-point fourth quarter lead to 17-9, and gave the Steelers their second defensive TD of the season. McCain made a terrific play on the interception, jumping ... Read More

With combined records of just 2-6, the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2) and Jacksonville Jaguars (0-4) have not started their respective seasons on much of a positive note. At Jacksonville's EverBank Field on Sunday, the Steelers will try to bounce back from a 27-24 loss to the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while the Jaguars are not only trying to get in the win column, but simply compete in a game.
