Until we hear otherwise, we have no choice but to speculate that Week 4 will serve as the 2020 bye week for the Pittsburgh Steelers, instead of Week 8. That speculation is further fueled by a Thursday tweet put out by Brian McCarthy, Vice President of Communications for the NFL and you can see it below.
It’s almost as if McCarthy’s trying to soften the blow ahead of time when it comes to teams that have had Week 4 byes the last 10 seasons. After all, just last season the San Francisco 49ers made it to the Super Bowl after having their bye in Week 4.
