FOX Sports: No. 4

Last Week: No. 6

"“The Steelers absolutely dominated the Redskins in every facet of the game on Monday night, and it was impressive to watch. With the win, Pittsburgh showed it has the best backfield in football with DeAngelo Williams rushing for 143 yards and two touchdowns and Le’Veon Bell two weeks from returning from his suspension. The Steelers are the second-best team in the AFC.” -Cameron DaSilva"

Starting to sense a theme here.

DaSilva brings up the point that should scare any opposing defense. The Steelers boast the best backfield in football, and if anyone doubted it before last night, they shouldn’t anymore. DeAngelo Williams, the team’s backup, rushed for 143yds and two touchdowns. The Steelers Offensive Line is one of the best in the league and continues to prove it. Once Le’Veon Bell returns, no one will be able to contain this duo.

Additionally, DaSilva points out that the Steelers “dominated” Washington. I would say most people thought Pittsburgh would pull away with the victory in this one, but at the same time, who could blame someone for thinking that a playoff team with an improved secondary might be able to stop an offense lacking some of its star power? The Redskins are by no means a bad team, and the Steelers really proved to be one of the best in the league, reflected by their boost from almost every outlet here.
