Congratulations Steelers fans! If you’re reading this, you made it through the long, dreaded bye-week of your Pittsburgh Steelers. From now until the end of the season, you will have the privilege of planting yourself in any couch, bar or stadium seat of your choosing to watch Pittsburgh’s quest for another Lombardi trophy.
Despite not playing in week seven, the Steelers were able to jump into first place of the AFC North with all three of their divisional opponents losing, all in very different yet unique ways. Justin Tucker missed his first extra-point attempt ever as the Ravens fell at home to New Orleans, the Browns lost on a 59 yard field goal in overtime to the Buccaneers, and the Bengals fell victim to the Patrick Mahomes freight-train in Kansas City (we feel you Cincinnati, we really do).
Week eight provides us with what appears to be another tough divisional match-up with Cleveland. Much has changed since the last meeting between the two, so how will things look when the oldest rivalry in the AFC gears up for another battle?
