Heavy lies the AFC North crown, and the Steel City must prove they’re worthy of it as the season grows tougher. The Pittsburgh Steelers look impressive through ten weeks of the NFL season and appear to be on the cusp of something special. However, the Steelers must avoid becoming complacent with their recent success, as the team faces a plethora of extremely challenging matchups in the second half of the season.
From an undefeated team, to an interstate rivalry, and tough, unpredictable divisional foes, how many games can the Pittsburgh Steelers realistically win? Fans might be optimistic about the possibility of the team sweeping their remaining schedule, but that seems unlikely given the level of competition ahead.
