Fun fact: or not so fun fact: you decide:
Since the beginning of 2014 season, the Steelers have played the second most one-score games through week 10 of this (95) in the AFC (I’m too lazy to compile the stats for the NFC) only to the chargers (98).
They have the best win percentage, in the AFC, in one-score games at .674. The dolphins are second at .625. The chargers are 12th at .429 over that time span.
As of right now, this Steelers team is eerily similar to that team that started 11-0 a few years ago. Record looks way better than they are and everyone knows that it'll come to an end eventually.
We are so ridiculously, incredibly different.
The 11-0 Steelers team was never going to last for 2 reasons: Our playbook aged poorly and our personnel aged poorly. Very one dimensional, short passing offense done but some old heads. People figured us out, and we also just aged throughout the season.
This year, despite being outgained, we’re like +10 in turnovers with Kenny being the only quarterback with 4 or fewer turnovers. We’re not lights out in the slightest, we are not a premier team. We’re very conservative, run decently, and kill the turnover battle.
