The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback believes his team are the worst in the league after their 34-27 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at Wembley left them with an 0-4 start.

That’s the once-mighty Steelers’ worst opening to a campaign since 1968.

Roethlisberger said: “Right now, you could say we’re the worst team in the league. That hurts.

“We are in uncharted territory, and the water is dangerous right now.

“It stings. I have to hope and believe we can turn it around.

“That’s the approach I’m going to take this week and next week. I’m going to do the best I can to lead these guys and let them see how I go about my job.

“I’d start with myself. We have to hold ourselves accountable.”
