3 things we learned from Steelers win against the Denver Broncos

The Steelers got a much-needed win at home that may turn the season around

Look, I don’t want to overreact to one win, but I honestly believe that had the Steelers lost a fourth straight game, Mike Tomlin would have had his ‘back against the wall’ in terms of trying to repair the Steelers psyche.  We had a comfortable lead heading into the fourth quarter, allowed the Broncos to storm back, and frankly could have lost the game.

Since we won the game, all is right for the Steelers, at least for this week.  I really wonder what Tomlin have had said to the team about giving up a double-digit lead at home.  We will never know and I’m elated that we will never know.

What I do know or at least what I suspect is this:  Tomlin does his best work with a win under his belt.  Yes, we are still a flawed team, but those flaws are easier to rectify after having won a game and particularly after having won a home game.

Tomlin has shown in the past that he and the coaching staff are capable of keeping the team focused despite being on a losing streak.  Let’s hope we won’t have a repeat of the three-game losing streak we snapped against the Broncos.

With another win, more will follow and that will lead to us playing meaningful football in January and beyond. Let’s hope they build on this performance.
