People tend to make matter worse than they are after a bad loss. That’s twice as likely when it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers. But this team is still fine, and they’ll use this week to quiet these overreactions.

At 7-3-1, the Pittsburgh Steelers are still sitting pretty in the AFC. Even in fourth place within the conference, this team has plenty of time to climb back up and two important matchups to help them do so.

Saying their season as sunk isn’t something fans, media, Twitter or anyone on the internet needs to be shouting out right now. With five games remaining on their schedule, the Steelers are in great shape to control the AFC come playoff time.

With games against the Chargers and Patriots ahead, this team isn’t destined for a terrible finish but a chance to redeem some early season struggles. Yes, the loss to the Denver Broncos wasn’t impressive, but this team’s season is far from over.

It’s time to calm down with the overreactions. Pittsburgh is still in good shape heading into Week 13. A loss to the Broncos in Mile High isn’t a cause for concern but simply a setback. The Steelers have been heading in the right direction since Week 3 and this is the first time they hit a wall since.

They’ll be just fine. The season has plenty of forgiveness left ahead, and here’s four reasons that show just why everything is going to be fine, even if the internet as told you otherwise.
