So, like, I'm a Steelers homer 100%, and a lot has been made of the fact that Pittsburgh plays down to the level of bad competition, and they lose to teams they have no business losing to.
What is overlooked, however, is that the Steelers are virtually perfect against winning teams (and the two NFC South teams that are still in the playoff hunt). The only loss to a winning team so far is their loss to Baltimore in Week 2. Their record against quality opposition is 7-1, pending the Cincinnati game on Sunday.
I don't know about you, but I know which of these trends is more important when all you play from here on out are playoff teams...
