For a team that was desperately seeking some type of magical turnaround, there was nothing perplexingly mystical about the way the Steelers managed to start the second half of the season the way they started the first — with a victory.
They did it by posting their highest rushing total in six years, came up with more chunk plays than at any point this season and watched their defense send the Saints marching back to New Orleans with a Bourbon Street-style headache.
Oh, it wasn’t pretty. The Steelers’ 20-10 victory on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium wasn’t anything to alter the NFL’s power structure. After all, it was just their second win in the past eight games and improved their record to 3-6.
