Does the Steelers’ unbeaten record against winning teams matter?
The Pittsburgh Steelers are 9-3 on the season, and, to date, they haven’t lost to a “good” team. As of last week, they were 5-0 against teams with winning records. With the Falcons losing, though, they are now 6-6, making the Steelers 4-0 in such games.
The Steelers have wins over the Chargers, Ravens, Broncos, and Commanders, with losses to the Colts, Cowboys, and Browns. The Colts are hovering near .500, currently 6-7, so they could retroactively hand the Steelers their first loss against winners.
But does the very fact of this shifting statistic neuter its significance?
