The Steelers haven't put together a complete performance since beating the Jets in early October. The 1-4 record that followed can be attributed to failures on both sides of the ball. Even their win in Cleveland was due mostly to the defense surging for eight sacks, forcing two turnovers and scoring a game-sealing touchdown.
