In the first three weeks of the 2024 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing the exact brand of football that they envisioned when they built the team this offseason.
Hard-nosed, physical, smashmouth football built around being the bully, punishing opposing teams and winning low-scoring games.
Through the first three weeks, that’s exactly what has transpired. The Steelers defeated the Atlanta Falcons, 18-10, the Denver Broncos, 13-6 and then the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday in their home-opener, 20-10.
In all three games, the Steelers were the more physical team, grinding out wins. Despite being 3-0 to start the season, doing so for just the fourth time in the Mike Tomlin era, there remain a lot of questions and concerns about the Steelers and if this 3-0 start is real or not.
