When you have a coach with a proven track record of getting the job done following the team’s bye week, that can instill some confidence in a fan base that things could trend in the right direction for an upcoming contest.
That’s the hope that fans have currently as the Steelers prepare to play to Los Angeles Rams on the road Sunday after coming off their bye week, managing to scrape out a win against the Baltimore Ravens to go to 3-2 on the season before getting some time off. The Steelers hadn’t been pretty on either side of the football leading up to their bye, having an offense that looks worse than it did a season ago as well as a defense that is getting gashed on the ground as well as allowing big games through the air.
