It’s difficult being a Pittsburgh Steelers fan at times. Especially when the standard of excellence has already been set in stone long before many fans even found their voice.
The black and gold tradition demands toughness, precision, and consistency — three things the offense had been struggling to maintain through the early part of the season. But after Sunday’s 23-9 win over the Cleveland Browns, there’s finally a sense that things might be moving in the right direction.
It wasn’t a perfect start, by any means.
The Steelers opened the game with three straight field goals from the ever-reliable Chris Boswell, a familiar pattern that gave fans that all-too-common feeling of offensive déjà vu.
