Following a disastrous launch to the 2023-24 NFL season, the Pittsburgh Steelers have finally managed to regain some mojo and are heading into their Sunday confrontation against the Green Bay Packers as a potential playoff contender.
Yeah. They’re packing heat for the first time since preseason exuberance was ground into the Acrisure Stadium turf by the San Francisco 49ers in game one.
Since then, it’s been sputtering and spurting, but even the most cynical would have to agree this team has learned how to work around its obvious limp of having next to no offense.
With a soft schedule on the horizon for the remainder of the year, and with a 5-3 start to the season, you could say they are at least “in the discussion”, and that’s a healthy place to be halfway through the schedule.
