The Minnesota Vikings should, theoretically, be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ ‘easiest’ remaining opponent. They are the only one with a losing record, for one thing, at 5-7, though the Cleveland Browns are not much better off at 6-6. Yet they are an unfamiliar opponent, on the road, on a short week.
And they do have talent, such as second-year wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who is already one of the premiere receivers in the league. Head coach Mike Tomlin talked about the threat that the LSU product poses during a taping of the Mike Tomlin Show aired yesterday.
