Looks like we’re finding out what the Pittsburgh Steelers really are in 2022. Good enough to beat other mediocre and bad teams and make things interesting against more skilled opponents, but with enough issues to sabotage themselves when it counts. Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals truly was the litmus test for this squad, and the loss reflects their position in the NFL Landscape in 2022.
For the Week 12 edition of my NFL Power Rankings, my goal is to group teams into tiers based on their outlook and potential for the remainder of the year.
