Today is a pretty big game. The Pittsburgh Steelers have done a lot of work clawing themselves out of a hole they’d dug on their own, going from a 1-3 start to now 4-3, a game out of first place for the lead in the AFC North entering the week. Today, they can get two games over .500 and further establish themselves as a competitive team.
That’s not necessarily because of the quality of opponent, even if the Chicago Bears should by no means be mistaken as some pushover, especially as they get their running game healthy. While they are working through the growing pains of a project rookie quarterback, this is still a unit with talent.
