Three NFL teams entered the weekend with unbeaten records, and two of them didn’t make it past Sunday while the other survived
After seven weeks of professional football only the Pittsburgh Steelers still have an unblemished record It was not without great drama on Sunday afternoon and later that night
The Steelers took their undefeated record to Nashville, where they faced the previously undefeated Tennessee Titans The Steelers took a big lead and, like many great NFL games, let their lead slip away. Tennessee missed a basket 19 seconds from the end that would have equalized the match
Later that night, the undefeated Seattle Seahawks lost to the Arizona Cardinals in overtime The Seahawks had a chance to win it in regulation and overtime, but lost both chances on the road
That makes the Steelers the only undefeated team in the NFL For now Look at most power rankings, and the Steelers don’t even run their own division – AFC North It would be the Baltimore Ravens, who have won the North last year, as well as the best AFC record
Next? The Steelers travel this Sunday to take on the Ravens, who just went off a week off, and also have reigning MVP Lamar Jackson at quarterback.
But why are the Steelers doing so well this year? First off, the schedule has been nice And it’ll be nice in spurts – because the NFC cross-division is the East, which is excruciating The Steelers still have the Cowboys and the Washington football team They get it twice the Bengals, play the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road and get the Indianapolis Colts in Pittsburgh – December 27, maybe in freezing weather
The Steelers did it both on offense and defense In Sunday’s 27-24 win over the Titans, the Steelers (6-0) have now scored 25 or more points in each of the top six team matches for the first time in franchise history
The Steelers made Tennessee running back Derrick Henry almost human on Sunday, keeping the Titans running game just 41 yards in the first half Also Sunday, the Steelers recorded a sack in their 63rd straight game It’s a streak that is worthy of the Steelers Oh, it’s a Steelers record too
The team faces their biggest challenge of the season this Sunday when they travel to take on the Ravens (5-1) After that, here’s Pittsburgh’s schedule through November:
In Dallas (2-5)
Against Cincinnati (1-5-1)
In Jacksonville (1-6)
Against Baltimore (5-1)
After that, it’s a home game against Washington (2-5) before a crucial Sunday night road game in Buffalo (Dec 13)
The road to the Super Bowl could go through Pittsburgh if things go well for the Steelers But who could wait on the other end? The teams with the best records in the NFC (all at 5-1) are the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers and Seahawks Then there are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are at 5-2
