It certainly feels like the NFL schedule makers did not do the Pittsburgh Steelers any favors this year. Every single divisional game from Week 11 on. Short weeks involving the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs. It all comes together in a demanding schedule.
The Steelers need to play quality football from the first whistle of Week 1 until the clock hits 0:00 in the final regular-season game. Otherwise, the playoffs will be out of reach and head coach Mike Tomlin’s streak of non-losing seasons could come to an end. However, Chris Brockman of The Rich Eisen Show doesn’t think the Steelers can avoid that.
