Three things are certain in life: death, taxes, and the NFL world underestimating the Pittsburgh Steelers. Whether it’s on team power rankings, Top 100 player lists, PFF rankings, Madden ratings, or individual player accolades, the Pittsburgh Steelers are consistently underestimated in their actual play compared to their poor rankings.
Steelers fans can see how true this statement is by hopping on social media to see this week’s NFL Power Rankings.

There are only nine undefeated teams currently in the NFL, and only three of these teams have a top-five defense. The Steelers fit the bill for both categories, but not only are they ranked at fourteen, the Ravens, who could possibly be 0-3 in a week, are ranked at nine.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will look to ignore the outside noise and doubters, as they prepare to take on a fellow undefeated team in the Los Angeles Chargers for Week 3.
