The Steelers likely just lost their Week 8 bye after their matchup against the Titans was postponed. Here’s why Mike Tomlin doesn’t care.
NFL preseason games were canceled this year, and Steelers players are likely more well-rested after three weeks then they have been in quite some time. Perfect time for a bye week, am I right?
Obviously, that was sarcasm. In most years, Pittsburgh will go their first 10-12 games without a bye (counting the preseason), but this year, they are forced to take their only break of the season during Week 4.
