The Pittsburgh Steelers clinched a winning season and extended their lead in the AFC North yesterday with a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals and a Baltimore Ravens loss. But despite Pittsburgh putting up 44 points in the win, ESPN’s Stephen A Smith said he isn’t fully bought into the idea of the Steelers as a contender. On First Take today, he said he’s sleeping on Pittsburgh.
“I’m not snoring on them. But I’m gonna sleep a little bit,” Smith said. “I think they need an additional wide receiver.”
Smith said he didn’t like the Steelers giving up 38 points, and thinks they are a second-tier AFC team.
