The Pittsburgh Steelers sit at 2-2 through four games and are tied for last place with the Cincinnati Bengals. Just as we all drew it up, right? With a -10 point differential, it is tough to win football games at that pace, but the Steelers still have plenty of time to right the ship given their veteran leadership and roster filled with star-studded names. Indianapolis, Tampa Bay, and New Orleans present a chance for Pittsburgh to rip off two or three wins in the three-game stretch. Let’s figure
conservatively at 2-1; the 4-3 record isn’t too shabby. Three wins would be the most ideal scenario.
Two more AFC North matchups are next, with Cleveland at home and on the road in Cincinnati. Philadelphia, Denver, and Houston are next, so this upcoming three-game stretch is critical given the coin-flip nature of those matchups. These next three games will be very telling about the direction of the season for the Steelers.
Here is Thursday’s Three Rivers Report.
