New Orleans may be tied for the lead in the NFC South but at 4-7, they're hardly dominating as in years past. As a dome-stadium team, they're also vulnerable to playing in the elements. Here's hoping for winter-like conditions this Sunday. The Steelers then travel to Cincy for their first meeting of the season with the Bungles. Here is where the Steelers can take control of the division and fight for a home playoff game. After that, the Steelers continue on the road to Atlanta, another weak NFC South team that can be ripe for the picking. The Steelers then travel back home to face the Kansas City Chiefs, a team that is also fighting for playoff position in the AFC. The Steelers close out their schedule at home versus Cincy. This game could come down to the division title.
The Steelers appear to be getting healthy at the right time, too as safeties Troy Polamalu and Sharmarko Thomas, LB Ryan Shazier and CB Ike Taylor all returned to practice yesterday after missing time with various injuries. LB Jarvis Jones was activated from the injured reserve/designated to return list. This is certainly good news as the Steelers lack of depth on defense has been a glaring deficiency that they've been struggling to overcome in recent weeks.
The Steelers have proven that they can run the ball, they can pass the ball. They just need to do both on a consist, week-in, week-out, 60-minute basis. Give QB Ben Roethlisberger time to put the ball in the hands of his playmakers, WR Antonio Brown and RB Le'Veon Bell, and watch them go to work.
No one likes scoreboard-watching. The Steelers are in the driver's seat, they just have to drive it all the way to the playoffs and a 7th Super Bowl Championship. Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
