When the NFL released every team’s schedule for 2024, Pittsburgh Steelers fans always had to be dreading this stretch. It isn’t even about the Steelers’ opponents, but the lack of rest they’ve received. They just finished playing three games in 11 days. It could be easy to use that as an excuse for their 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but Alex Highsmith doesn’t believe that had any impact on the outcome.
“They had to deal with it too,” Highsmith said after the Steelers lost their third consecutive game via KDKA’s Extra Point postgame show.
