The Pittsburgh Steelers have endured multiple changes of course, this season. At one point, they were 7-4 and controlled their own destiny for the playoffs or even the division title. Then a change at offensive coordinator and an injury to starting QB Kenny Pickett contributed to a three-game losing streak that put the season at risk.
Fast forward three weeks later, and the Steelers are playoff-bound with a road game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The NFL can be like that, and it serves as a lesson not to count chickens before they hatch. Some may have picked the Steelers to go 10-7, but you would be hard-pressed to find someone who correctly plotted out the path to get there.
