PITTSBURGH (Nov. 5, 2006) -- The Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers never thought they would already be playing for next year halfway through a season that began with so many expectations.

Javon Walker scored three touchdowns on two receptions and a 72-yard run on a wide receiver reverse and the Denver Broncos took advantage of repeated Pittsburgh mistakes to win 31-20.

The loss likely ended any realistic chance the Steelers had to repeat their Super Bowl title.

They should not bench Ben. They should keep him in there and perhaps give Pittsburgh a shot at the worst record of the 2006 season.

And as a Chiefs fan, I wanted the Steelers to win. Oh well, guess we'll have to thump the Broncos at home ourselves.
