    Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wore a sleeve on his right index finger Tuesday.

    The partial dislocation he sustained in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London isn't serious, and what pains Roethlisberger considerably more is the fact the Steelers are still winless.

    Roethlisberger said after the Steelers' first 0-4 start since 1968 that they might be the worst team in the NFL.

    He did not back away from that assessment two days later.

    "I don't think that's a far stretch," Roethlisberger said of the Steelers being the league's worst team. "If you look at records, which I'm always a big believer of -- wins and losses, not numbers -- then record-wise we're one of the worst teams in the NFL."

    Pittsburgh is one of four teams to enter October without a win, and Roethlisberger is foremost among those in the Steelers' locker room who is on unfamiliar ground.

    The only quarterback in NFL history to win his first 13 starts, Roethlisberger was a two-time Super Bowl champion before the age of 28.
