Friday Factoid: Steelers Bye Week edition

The Steelers have a bye week, alas and alack! BTSC takes a look at a few bye-week related facts.

One bye week fact is certain: Sunday will be a lot less interesting without a Steelers game to watch. While bye weeks can be momentum killers, they can also provide players extra time to recuperate and coaches extra time to strategize. Here are a few facts to consider as you come to terms with the sad reality that there is no Steelers football in Week 11.

  • The Steelers are 6-4
  • The Steelers defense is currently 5th in the NFL against the run and 5th in points allowed
  • The Steelers have the fourth most sacks in the league at 28, behind only Denver, New England, and St.
