You can open your eyes. There are no flying cows, yellow brick roads, or dancing Munchkins.
It’s the real thing, baby. The Pittsburgh Steelers are 6-2 and legitimately eligible for deep playoffs aspirations.
We’re at the kinda, sort-of, halfway point of the season and the Steelers sit alone atop the AFC North, despite sharing locker rooms with one of the year’s favorites to win it all, the Baltimore Ravens.
Is this the year…finally…when the king climbs back on the mountain? Will we return to our usual role of annual pre-season favorites to at least get to the AFC Championship…just like it was in the not so long ago old days?
