Reversal of fortune: Steelers fall as Saints rise

PITTSBURGH - The New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers are exactly where they were a year ago. One is 2-6 during a gloomy, turmoil-filled season that couldn’t have gone much worse, the other is 6-2 going into a promising second half that awaits.

Or that the Super Bowl champion Steelers, one of the NFL’s model franchises for consistent winning, would be 2-6.
After the Broncos sneaked out of Pittsburgh with a 31-20 victory created mostly by six Pittsburgh turnovers, Denver linebacker Al Wilson imagined how Steelers fans are reacting to a losing season.
