The majority of the back half of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ schedule in 2023 is populated by teams playing backup quarterbacks, either due to injury or for performance reasons. They’ve played quarterbacks who did not begin the season as starters in three of their past four games and will do so in three of their next four, as well.
The exception is this Sunday when they host the Arizona Cardinals at the Stadium Formerly Known as Heinz Field. The former first-overall pick, QB Kyler Murray has been back under center for the past few weeks, and while that hasn’t immediately translated into wins (with one key defender warning that it’s stupid to look at teams’ records at this time of year), the Steelers understand the problems he poses.
