The NFL is a 17-game season and if the 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers proved anything, a hot start doesn’t matter with a cold finish. Still, in a competitive AFC North and AFC at large, the Steelers can’t afford to be playing catch-up all season. With a schedule that’s, on paper, more forgiving at the start than the end, Pittsburgh has to come out of the gates firing. If Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers don’t, his time missed during spring workouts won’t be forgotten. That’s the case Mike Florio made Thursday on Pro Football Talk.
“When they get on the plane to fly across the Atlantic Ocean should be 3-0,” Florio said of the Steelers heading into their Ireland game.
