b'Pop a Prozac, Pittsburgh. Football warning signs are flashing brightly and loudly in the 412 area code about these far-from perfect 8-0 Steelers, who seem to be flirting with their first loss week in and week out. Yes, I\\u2019m talking about the real risk of this supposedly perfect team losing to the better-than-advertised Joe Burrow-led Bengals at Heinz Field this Sunday. The biggest worry centers on Big Ben, who is in COVID quarantine this week and won\\u2019t be able to practice. Roethlisberger could be cleared to play in the Bengals\\u2019 game. But he\\u2019d enter the contest with no practice, two injured knees and the current troubling trend of sleepwalking along with the rest of the Steelers offense for the entire first half of games. And that\\u2019s just tops in the long list of Steelers laments featured in this \\u2018living in our fears\\u2019 edition of the Steelers Update Podcast. If you\\u2019re not worried yet, you will be after listening to my spooky screed of Steelers\\u2019 scares.
