It’s hard to believe that this Pittsburgh Steelers football team is actually sitting at 6-3 through nine games. They do not rank well offensively or defensively. On the season, they have been outscored by several possessions, and yet have won all of the close games to get where they are, with timely turnovers and the occasional clutch play.
Yet it’s not where you are when you’re in the thick of things. It’s where you’re going and how you get there. Nobody in the locker room likely understands that better than DL Cameron Heyward, who missed most of the season due to a groin injury.
