Steelers Allow Return Touchdown In Eighth Straight Game

At Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs’ Jamaal Charles took the opening kickoff 97 yards to the house. Earlier this week, Deadspin’s Big Father Drew noted the 2009 Steelers’ special-teams failures:

↵↵The Steelers have allowed a return touchdown in seven straight games. HOLY [POOP]!

↵↵Right off the bat, the Steelers have extended their dubious streak to eight, which ties the franchise record they set in 1993.

↵Perhaps more noteworthy, though, is that the Kansas City Chiefs are presently leading the defending Super Bowl champions. You know, Bertrand Russell once hypothesized that we all sprang into existence five minutes ago, furnished with a complete set of memories, with shoes that needed mending and beards that needed trimming. It cannot be proven or disproven, but as a Chiefs fan, this is one of those times that I long to believe it is true.
