After a very disappointing loss to a Jets team that has been one of the worst franchises in the NFL in recent memory, the Steelers now sit at 1-3 with a four-game stretch awaiting them at Buffalo, at home against Tampa Bay, at Miami, and finally, at Philadelphia before their Week 9 bye week, something that this team will surely be very grateful for.
Those four upcoming opponents are a combined 12-2 and a strong argument can be made that the Bills and Eagles are the favorites in their respective conferences to go to the Super Bowl. These four franchises have collectively scored 121 more points than they have allowed in 2022.
