Yeah, we know Bill Parcells said "You are what your record says you are."

But which to teams do you feel are not what their record says they are?

Better than record: Cardinals only because Kyler Murray is back

Worse than record: Steelers whose luck will run out any week now. Right guys? Any week now.

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.

This couldn’t be more categorically wrong.

The 11-0 team scored 24 or more points in 10 of the first 11 games. Matt Canada has done that 11 times in 56 games as OC.

The one consistency since 2014 is Mike Tomlin (and Chris Boswell shortly after). HOF coaching and a clutch kicker are why this team is always “worse than their record”. Like at some point you’d think people would stop saying, “The Steelers are so much worse than their record” when they have to do it every season for almost a decade.
