The Pittsburgh Steelers have a 5-3 record and are second in the AFC North after defeating the Tennessee Titans last Thursday night. As Hall of Fame head coach Bill Parcells once said, “You are what your record says you are.”
A lot of people might disagree with Parcells about the 2023 version of the Steelers though. Yes, this is a record-breaking team. After all, Pittsburgh is the first team in NFL history to be outgained in every single game through eight games and have a winning record. While that’s impressive, it’s not exactly comforting to realize that the Steelers have spotted every single team they’ve faced this season with an advantage in yardage.
