“You’re only as good as your record says you are,” might not apply to the 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sure the squad is 6-2 and atop the AFC North, but when you analyze their three-game winning streak, it leaves a lot ot be desired in terms of opponent.
Well, that all changes with the second half of their season, and it starts on Sunday, when the Steelers look to get some brand new additions involved against a 7-2 Washington Commanders team.
Commanders Already Bracing for Mike Williams
“He [Mike Williams] gives them somebody opposite No. 14, [George Pickens] you know, that can go vertically up the field,” Commanders DC Joe Whitt Jr. said of newly acquired Steelers WR Mike Williams. “And so now, boom, [there are] shots on both sides for Russell [Wilson]. And what does Russell do best? He throws the deep ball really, really well. He’s done that for a long time – just throw the ball outside the numbers. And now they can go 12 personnel [one running back, two tight ends] and put guys outside, block it up, and give him shot opportunities on both sides where there’s 50/50, balls and that is a problem.”
