Week 6 saw a lot of crazy finishes and upsets. The Miami Dolphins were able to take care of the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-15, although it's important to note that Ben Roethlisberger went down with a knee injury. Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette later reported that it wasn't just a tweak—it was a torn meniscus.
While it doesn't sound like Roethlisberger will be out for the remainder of the season, the news is still a major blow for the Steelers offense. In particular, it could impact Antonio Brown. According to ESPN Stats & Info, he has never caught a touchdown from a quarterback besides Roethlisberger since entering the NFL. 
While Pittsburgh is still in the top 10 of my power rankings entering Week 7, any time without Big Ben is time lost for the Steel Curtain. Unless Roethlisberger can come back within the next few weeks, the Steelers will continue to drop in the power rankings.
