The NFL season is a high-paced, grueling gauntlet. When the schedule offers a break, players and coaches know to use that time wisely. The Pittsburgh Steelers plan to do just that.
Their 24-21 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Dublin, Ireland, was the perfect way to enter a well-deserved Week 5 bye. It wasn’t the cleanest game, but it was the kind of victory that builds character and momentum. Now, without a game until October 12th — a divisional showdown against the Cleveland Browns — Pittsburgh has an opportunity to recharge, refocus, and, hopefully, reinforce.
Let’s be honest: the Steelers need it.
