There’s never a bad time for a bye week. Mike Tomlin always uses that adage. For the 3-1 Pittsburgh Steelers, it’s nice to step back and admire the view.
Though far from perfect or oftentimes, even good, the Steelers are 3-1 through September. Offer that record up in June and any reasonable fan would’ve jumped at the chance. Even after allowing a near-historic Minnesota Vikings comeback, Pittsburgh played its best game of the season in Dublin. The closest representation to the type of game the Steelers aim to play. The running game imposed its will. Aaron Rodgers was smart and moved the offense.
