6. Pittsburgh Steelers (+0)

Are the Steelers good? I thought the defense was going to come out and absolutely pummel the Philadelphia Eagles, and they were good but it was also very close to a loss. A win is a win, but there is something about Carson Wentz getting right against your defense that has to make you nervous.

Offensively, I wonder if Chase Claypool is going to be one of those players who eventually struggles with one part of his game (dealing with press, finidng holes in zone, or whatver you want) and that unravels his dominance. If so, that is fine he still has plenty of ways you can use him, but if it isn’t true then the Steelers might just have their D.K. Metcalf.

5. Buffalo Bills (-1)

This slide could be known as “people who have gotten made at the Titans for being sick”, but it felt wierd to give it a title. Instead I will say that the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers are set to play on Tuesday and that the Bills spot in the power rankings won’t move until then.
