Pittsburgh Steelers: Player stock falling/rising after Week 2

The Pittsburgh Steelers ugly start to the season continued Sunday after another poor defensive showing. It is hard to single out anyone but I will attempt to in this week two stock update.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have many players who had their stock drop in the loss to Kansas City. A handful had good games but the overall outlook is not good this week.

Ben Roethlisberger – Stock: Up

Big Ben had a pretty awful showing in week one and it did not do them any favors in trying to win. He really stepped up in week two to deliver a performance worthy of a winning QB but his defense failed him.

Ben threw the ball 60 times completing 48 of them for a 65 percent completion percentage. He tacked on four touchdowns to the line, three through the air and one on the ground.

Yes, you read that right, Big Ben had a 10 yard rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter to bring them within five points of the Chiefs.

Ben’s performance should have given the Steelers the edge after the offense scored 37 points. That, however, was not the case which leads us to our next segment.
