At some point we have to consider the Stealers as we look forward to playing them and the post-season. Pittsburg is hard to figure out are they that good or do they have an easy schedule Here is who they have played so far. Not too challenging a lineup. I've grouped teams into top middle and bottom 3rd's of the league by power ratings from . (https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-power-rankings-week-11-raiders-cardinals-rise-seahawks-titans-exit-top-10) top third 1-10 middle third 22-21 bottom third 22-32
Giants 22 bottom third
Broncos 25 bottom third
Texas 28 bottom third
bye week 7
Eagles 26 bottom third
Browns 15 middle third
titans 14 middle third
Ravens 6 top third
Cowboys 30 bottom third
Bengals 27 bottom third
*****************************************************************************************************
Jacksonville 31 bottom third
Ravens 6 top third
Redskins 29 bottom third
Bills 7 top third
Bengals 27 bottom third
Colts 12 middle third
Browns 15 middle third
So far they have one game against the top third and 2 against the middle third.
For the whole season, they will have 9 of their games are against the bottom third,,,,4 against the middle third and 3 against the top third.
They have had only one hard game so far. So far, they have played 8 of the bottom 9 teams in the leauge. Victories against teams ranked #31, #30, #29 , #28, #27, #27, #26, #25. that is 8 of the 9 worse teams in the NFL. (how did they miss the Jests?). We really don't know how good or bad they are. They have played a lot f easy games. They also have a scrimmage against the Redskins the week before they play us.
