In nine games, these three quarterbacks are 6-0 vs. the rest of the league, 0-3 against the Steelers. They have thrown 12 TDs/1 Int against the rest of the league, 0 TDs/4 Ints against Pittsburgh (not incl. Kerry Collins int.). In those other six games the lowest quarterback rating is 88.7. Against the Steelers' the highest rating is 67.6. These qbs are putting up an average of 28.6 pts/g against other teams and 11 against the Steelers (with the only two tds allowed coming in the last two minutes of each game.)
Totally dominant against quarterbacks who are carving up other teams in the league.

nice stat work. by the way, ever notice how lebeau calls a much better game when he knows/thinks the offense is inept? witness the much more aggressive blitz calling in 2008 and this year. lets pray he keeps it up when ben is back.
Steeler's D is awesome and I'm a believer, but......they have faced only one credible team (Atlanta) and that was in the opener, and there is only one legit "Other Opponent" in your analysis (New Orleans). The others have Power Rankings of 30, 29, 28, 24, and 22. You could even question New Orleans as "an elite" after their first three games.
Lets see how the trend continues, as the Steelers face some competition on offense. We may have a bit of a wait though. The Steelers do not face a credible quarterback until Weeks 8, 9 and 10. They should enter that stretch at 7-0.
A) Tennessee is good. B) Harvard boy hung 30 on you after Sanchez tore u up. Better hope Ur boys score 40 every week.
