Sunday was supposed to be a referendum on the Cleveland Browns. If they could beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, their hot start this season would have been validated.
Maybe the Steelers were the team everyone should have been paying attention to.
There were four undefeated NFL teams heading into Week 6: Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh. It’s rare for the Steelers to fly under the radar, but they hadn’t gotten an inordinate amount of attention for their undefeated start. They have stars on offense and a defense that was the best in the NFL this season.
