The Steelers Just Got Worse
TEAMS: Jacksonville Jaguars,  Detroit Lions,  Pittsburgh Steelers,  Tampa Bay Buccaneers
PLAYERS: Byron Leftwich,  Charlie Batch,  Dennis Dixon,  Brian Griese,  Josh Johnson,  Kellen Winslow,  Antonio Bryant,  Michael Clayton,  Dennis Dixon

    I think it's not that important and it will not affect the Steelers or ruin their season.
