Can the Steelers win on Mountain Time?

The Black & Gold will have a long flight to Arizona to play the Cardinals. It will be almost a five-hour flight. They will also be playing in an unfriendly territory although that problem is usually minimized by the way Steeler Nation travels.

The Steelers offense had trouble scoring in San Francisco despite the fast start by the defense. I think another benefit of having Devlin Hodges is his confidence in playing in difficult environments.

This trip is the second-longest of the season behind their trip to San Francisco to play the 49ers. I don’t think the fans and the media realized how good the 49ers were at that point in the season so hats off to how the Steelers played on the road.

I think the Cardinals are a very beatable team despite their home-field advantage. They don’t have a lot of superstars and Larry Fitzgerald is toward the end of his career. The Cardinals are a team that is rebuilding and they have a first-year Head Coach in Kliff Kingsbury.
