The Pittsburgh Steelers entered Week 6 of the 2021 regular season in a state of flux. After winning their season opening game vs. the Buffalo Bills, the Steelers lost their next three games before beating the Denver Broncos in Week 5.
With the Seattle Seahawks coming to town for a prime time matchup on Sunday Night Football, Pittsburgh had the chance to win back-to-back games before heading into their bye week. On top of that, it would be a chance for the Steelers to reach .500 after their losing streak.
