Surprisingly enough, on a recent episode of The Herd, hosted by the ever-polarizing Colin Cowherd, there was a Pittsburgh Steelers love fest taking place.
Cowherd hosted NFL insider Jordan Schultz, who was asked what he believes the true ceiling for the 7-2 Steelers is. It felt like before Cowherd could finish asking, Schultz was off to the races, singing the Steel City’s praises through 11 weeks of football.
Schultz claimed that Russell Wilson had further solidified the Steelers as contenders, going as far as to compare Pittsburgh to perhaps the best team in the National Football League—the 8-1 Detroit Lions.
Schultz argued that Pittsburgh and Detroit both seem to leave opposing teams in worse shape once they defeat them. His claims were supported by Washington’s recent collapse against Philadelphia on Thursday Night Football in Week 11, only four short days after the Steelers’ Week 10 28-27 victory over the Commanders.
Fans of the Steelers are hoping the same can apply to a potential Week 11 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, as the AFC North rivals are closing the distance in a tight divisional title race.
