The Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t just aiming for AFC North superiority anymore. After starting 7-2 and coming off a big win over an impressive Washington Commanders team, they are now aiming for conference superiority. Currently, the conference runs through the Kansas City Chiefs, but according to Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers are gaining ground on them.
“I think this puts us in a closer level to the Chiefs,” Roethlisberger said via his Footbahlin’ podcast on YouTube. “Because we’re a three-phase football team. We have all three phases that are really clicking right now, and what Russ [Wilson] is doing is kind of taking the offense with his confidence to another level, and I think we are just going to continue to see it.
