The Steelers are officially on a losing streak. The Steelers controlled their contest with the Bears for 50 minutes of football. The Steelers held a 32-17 lead before the Bears went on a furious run. Bears back up QB Steve Walsh finished with 307 yards and 2 touchdowns on the day. 154 of those yards and both TDs coming in the last 10 minutes. Former Steeler Jeff Graham would catch the game winning score with just under 40 seconds left as he leaped over CB Rod Woodson to pluck what looked like a sure INT away from him. The Steelers pass rush continues to be non-existent after an explosive week one. QB Mike Tomczak had a better outing keeping Jim Miller on the sideline. That said he struggled to move the chains in the 4th quarter going 0-5 on third downs in the final frame. The Steelers are optimistic they will have starter O'Donnell back next week as they travel to the winless and expansion Ravens.
