The Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions are preparing to go head-to-head in prime-time on Sunday Night Football in Week 8, and the Lions are coming off of their bye-week in Week 7.
This is something the Steelers should be comfortable with, considering the Cincinnati Bengals were also coming off a bye in Week 6 before they went to Heinz Field last Sunday and lost. Mike Tomlin spoke about the advantage a team has after an extra week of preparation and how his team respects the preparation standpoint of an entire additional week to get ready for an opponent.
