Steelers face Vikings at Wembley Stadium

Match between 0-3 teams not what the NFL expected

Back when this game was announced, it was looked upon as an event that will help to push the NFL brand in the United Kingdom. Then reality came calling.

The Minnesota Vikings have yet to get off the ground this season falling to the Lions, Bears and the Browns while the Steelers have succumbed to the Titans, Bengals and the Bears.

Adding insult to injury, Vikings QB Christian Ponder is now listed as doubtful with a rib injury picked up against the Browns.

“we’re going to push it to the limit and see what we can do, in a smart way. But I’m doing everything I can to play,” Ponder said.

 

Steelers drop Overtime game to Cowboys

In his second game back from injury, Ben Roethlisberger and his Pittsburgh Steelers dropped another game but Ben is taking the blame for this one.

“Yes, absolutely,” he said after being asked if he let his team down. “One-hundred percent. This is on me. I let the team, the fans, everybody down.”

The Cowboys have won their last two games and are facing the New Orleans Saints next week while the Steelers take on the Cincinnati Bengals on the 23rd of December.
