THE Pittsburgh SteelersHot start continues to gain momentum. Not only is the AFC North currently running through the Steel City, but the team is also competing with the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs for first place in the AFC Conference.
While the 6-2 Steelers are tied with the 6-2 Bills and just a game and a half behind Kansas City, Pittsburgh actually has the second-best point differential in the AFC and fourth-best among the 32 teams in the NFL.
So far in 2024, through eight weeks of football, the Steelers have scored 187 points while allowing just 119 points against them. That point differential of 68 is behind only the NFC’s Washington Commanders with 69, the AFC’s Buffalo Bills with 84 and the NFC’s Detroit Lions with a staggering 100 point differential.
Pittsburgh’s differential shows the NFL world that their balanced strength on both sides of the ball should not be underestimated. As the trade deadline approaches, the Steelers would do well to further strengthen their roster and prepare for a potentially deep playoff run.
