The Steelers are 6-0.
But 5 of those wins were against the Giants, Broncos, Texans, Eagles, and Browns. Not exactly the upper echelon of the league, if you know what I mean.
They beat the Titans by 3 in a game where the final score didn't really reflect the game that was played.
They have the Ravens this week, and we'll learn if the Steelers are contenders or pretenders.

They're contenders. Winning in the NFL is not easy regardless of the foe. It still seems like it's KC and BAl in the top tier.

I dont know who it was but some famous coach said that after 4 or 5 games you are what your record says you are. Based on the assumption that he probably knows more about football than I do I'm gonna say Pitt is legit.

I don't know, man. There's no fucking way the 5-2 Chicago Bears are legit.

I suppose that depends on what you mean by "legit". Are they Super bowl contenders? No. Are they playoff contenders? Their record says they are.

In my opinion the Bears have a better chance if they go back to Trubisky.

By all measures they’re a good and balanced team. I think they have a good chance of losing Sunday though since the Ravens are at home and had a bye week.

To answer your question. It's called adjustable DEFENSE. Best in the NFL. Try to keep up.

You know about as much about football as you do wax rings and C batteries. Go read your Kerrville times Houston Texans pole smoker
That was really brave of him posting that AFTER the game had been played.

They got their asses handed to them except for the turnovers.

It's called 7-0 with the best defense in the NFL. Haters can parade statistics all they want. Doesn't change the facts.

The statistics are the facts, the Steelers got away with one because the Ravens kept handing the ball over to them. The Ravens were running all over them.

It's called a W in anybody's book. That's how the games are played.

Two days after Stanley signed a five-year contract extension, Stanley suffered a season-ending ankle injury that coach John Harbaugh described as “severe.”
Hopefully he can play again, but at least he has the $$$
