An nasty knee injury that will cost Ben Roethlisberger at least a month of game action has knocked the Pittsburgh Steelers down a few pegs in the NFL hierarchy.
Roethlisberger's injury is admittedly damaging to Pittsburgh's chances of fielding an offense as good as the 2014 edition, but it doesn't necessary besmirch their postseason aspirations .
The 1-2 Chiefs are perhaps the biggest surprise, but they should at least be 2-1 after a baffling loss to Denver in Week 2 and they played the NFL-leading Packers really close at home, nearly overcoming five Aaron Rodgers touchdowns to give the Lambeau Field crowd a scare.
