The Pittsburgh Steelers have won three games in a row and tonight they host the Chicago Bears. The opening line on this game had Pittsburgh favored by five points, a line that has bulged to seven today.
What we have here is a Steelers team that opened this campaign with an upset road win over the highly regarded Buffalo Bills, then lost their next three games against opponents considered less talented than Buffalo, namely, the Las Vegas Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers.
They followed those losses at a time they were least thought of in the public eye and according to the point spread, with victories over the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks and last week’s important division conquest of the Cleveland Browns.
So, who are these guys?
Good enough to beat Buffalo, and vulnerable enough to lose, well to almost anyone.
Like the Bears tonight.
