AFC race is over with Big Ben out
This morning it was announced that Ben Roethlisberger will be done for the year after injuring his elbow during the Steelers Week 2 game against the Seahawks. Colin obviously thinks the Steelers season is over, but also thinks taking the always competitive Steelers out of the AFC Playoff mix only clears the way even further for a Pats/Chiefs AFC Championship matchup. It was probable. Now it’s a certainty.
As for the Steelers, they not only have to find a way to salvage the season, but to hope they can find his replacement or be left in the AFC North basement for the foreseeable future as the rest of the Ravens and Browns continue to ascend.
Also:
-The Saints’ offense has eroded
-Can’t deny Dak anymore
-Rodgers/LaFleur sideline exchange is a positive
-Colin’s right/Colin wrong
