The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing a must-win game early in the season. No, playoff seeding isn’t on the line just yet, but momentum is — and in this league, momentum matters. With the team heading into a much-needed bye week, Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings in Dublin, Ireland, feels like one they can’t afford to drop.
I hate to admit it, but Pittsburgh is banged up right now. It’s been one of those stretches where every injury report feels heavier than the last. Defensively, they’re short-handed. Offensively, they’ve struggled to find rhythm. And that imbalance is giving Carson Wentz and the Vikings a bit of an advantage heading into Week 4.
