Injuries and attrition are the names of the game when navigating an NFL schedule, and especially for a team like the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are trying to maintain Head Coach Mike Tomlin’s non-losing season streak that has stood the test of time since he took over as head coach back in 2007.
This has rang true for the team thus far this season, when last year’s league Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt injured his pectoral muscle in the first game of the season and didn’t return until Week 10. And if you think he didn’t make an impact, the team went 2-6 without him in the lineup, and since gone 5-2 with his return.
