The Pittsburgh Steelers enter their bye week 3-2 and atop of the AFC North. Most would be ecstatic about that scenario for Pittsburgh at this point of the season, but the positivity has been reigned in a bit based on how the team has gotten here.
Pittsburgh is currently one of the worst teams offensively in the league as they rank 29th in total points scored, 30th in total yards, 27th in passing yards, and 30th in rushing yards through five weeks. They have a -31-point differential in the games they’ve played but have managed to scrap their way to a winning record and first place in the AFC North on the backs of their defense making splash plays as well as a few splash plays of their own.
