The Pittsburgh Steelers are right where they want to be right now.
Pittsburgh currently is in first place in the AFC North despite a wide range of question marks about the franchise throughout the season to this point. The Steelers entered the 2024 season with major questions at quarterback and a lack of playmakers in the wide receiver room.
The Steelers somehow have found a way to go beyond all expectations. Pittsburgh is 7-2 and has had success with both Justin Fields and Russell Wilson as the team’s starting quarterback. The Steelers also brought Mike Williams into town ahead of the trade deadline as well.
Pittsburgh has been fantastic and has its most important game of the season to this point on Sunday afternoon against the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers are in first place in the division with a 7-2 record and Baltimore has a 7-3 record. The winner will hold the top spot in the division and have a significantly better chance of winning the division overall later in the season.
If Pittsburgh wins, it will have an 8-2 record while the Ravens would drop to 7-4. It seems like a two-horse race in the division and this week’s clash could go a long way in deciding the AFC North champion.

The Steelers have a good chance of coming out on top and are 3-0 with Wilson under center. A fourth straight win with him as the starting quarterback this weekend could be a season-definer.
