The Pittsburgh Steelers have the task this week of preserving a streak—or rather a couple of streaks. While they are attempting to win their own fifth consecutive game of the season, and have first place in the AFC North on the line as they do, they’re also trying to make sure that the Detroit Lions don’t get their first win of the season.
They’ll be hosting the winless wonders Sunday afternoon, and they’ll be doing so after playing a Monday night game, while the Lions will be coming off of a bye, so that’s a not insignificant advantage for their opponents.
