PITTSBURGH — Fans might be ready to cash in their chips on the 2021 season after the Steelers’ 1-3 start.

In fact, this isn’t the first time they’ve started slowly in recent seasons. They started 1-4 in 2019, then rallied to win seven of their next eight games despite not having Ben Roethlisberger and being forced to rely on Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges at quarterback.
A three-game losing streak at the end of the season after the wheels finally came off their quarterback situation left them at 8-8 and out of the playoffs, but if the Steelers weren’t going to quit that season -- with their starting quarterback sidelined because of an elbow injury -- they certainly aren’t going to do so this year, either.
