Steelers’ odds of staying undefeated plunge as doubts grow

When does a Steelers win, even over the hated Ravens, fell like a loss? When you drop passes all over Heinz Field, fumble a punt, give up a long touchdown pass to the third-string QB – and most of all when you lose your relentless pass rusher, Bud Dupree, to a season-ending knee injury. This stomach-turning Steelers win feels like a major turning point in Pittsburgh’s here-to-fore euphoric season. Where it goes from here, is anyone’s guess. But it’s also in the hands of the Steelers’ players – most notably their supposedly budding-star receivers – who will have to do far better to make up for the Bud Dupree- and Devin Bush-depleted defense. Otherwise, all that Pittsburgh promise embodied in their 11-0 record, could be for naught. That would prove the biggest disappointment of all. I have all the best takes on the revulsion of this ugly win over the Ravens, the fan rebellion over the schedule changes that favored the Ravens, and much more on the very grim news about Bud Dupree -- all in this rescheduled edition of the Steelers Update Podcast.
