The learning curve is starting to level off for Hargrave, Artie Burns and Sean Davis. That hardly means its flat. Not by a long shot. Still, the game is beginning to slow down for the three Pittsburgh Steeler rookies, all of whom have made significant plays on a defense thats picked it up during the teams modest turnaround.

There was Hargrave, a third-rounder from South Carolina State, falling on a fumble in the end zone for a score in the same game.
