The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t play an AFC opponent until Sunday when they won 18-16 over the Baltimore Ravens. They don’t have to wait very long for the next divisional matchup. Up next? A Thursday night tilt in Cleveland against the Browns.
Short weeks are less than ideal, to say the least. It throws off the routine of a normal game week. The Steelers are no stranger to short weeks. They suffered through quite the congestion at the end of the 2023 season, and DL Cam Heyward was less than happy with that.
There is one silver lining to this short week, though.
