The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to 0-4 following Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Off to their worst start in 45 years, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was not shy about how the team had played thus far.<\/p>\n

“Right now, you could say we’re the worst team in the league,” said Roethisberger, via the Associated Press<\/a>. “That hurts.”<\/p>\n

The Steelers are off next week before getting a match-up against the New York Jets in Week 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
