The Steelers are 3-1 with a one-game lead in the AFC North and coming off their best game of the season. Chris Hoke believes the win in Dublin was a step forward. Of course, the only way for them to validate that is to come out on the other side of the bye and prove it. But Pittsburgh did show some encouraging signs, cleaning up some issues while getting injured players back.
“I saw a team that took a step forward. I saw a team that’s starting to play sound football, Steeler football, take another step,” the former Steelers NT said Thursday on 93.
