The Pittsburgh Steelers are off to a 6-2 start, tied for the second-best record in the conference. The Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans share their record while the Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated through seven games. The Steelers, however, have had an easier schedule than most of the teams with the best records right now.
Of the nine teams with two or fewer losses, they have the fourth-lowest strength of victory. Among that same group, they also have the third-lowest strength of schedule. The Steelers have three wins against two-win teams, half of their conquests against teams with non-winning records.
