Steelers Prove Why They’re Champs
by Calvin Watkins Filed under: Steelers , Titans PITTSBURGH — The Steelers won the Super Bowl last season, thanks in part to their poise while handling a difficult regular-season schedule. In 2008, Pittsburgh played against seven playoff teams — a grind that helped them prepare for the postseason. The Steelers celebrated that postseason on Thursday night, dropping a huge championship banner behind one of the Heinz Field goal posts before they took on Tennessee in the NFL ’s season opener. The fans went crazy, but their team strolled onto the field as if that Super Bowl title never existed. There would be no ring ceremony. There would be no marching the Lombardi Trophy around at midfield. Last year was last year, and if the Steelers are going to repeat, they have to play it cool.
