Misery Index · Despair
Steelers fans watching the same joyless offense on a loop, now with a smashed TV and a wife at the hotel.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
Three points. That's what the offense mustered while A.Rodgers took a strip-sack in his own end that E.Ponder turned into a 19-yard scoop-and-score, effectively ending things in the fourth. T.Henderson's 39-yard touchdown run in the first quarter set the tone, and P.Queen's red-zone interception was somehow squandered. The gutted coaching staff and reshuffled roster were supposed to change something; through two weeks, the product looks depressingly familiar.

“I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. This team has ruined my life and my party.”
