You know there's only six teams?

in the NFL that have made the playoffs three years in a row, the last three years?

Only six teams.

Steelers and Texans are two of them, right?

Then you have the Bills, the Eagles, and the Rams.

The Steelers are one of six teams.

The Texans are one of six teams in all 32 teams in the NFL that have made the playoffs each of the last three years.

There would be a lot of teams that would love to be where the Steelers are right now.

I think it's a toss-up.

I think this game is as good a guess as you can give it.

I think it's a toss-up.

I think they're hot.

I think this defense is going to give the Steelers offense fits.

I think this young offensive line is going to have a day of growth.

These guys are fast, they're physical, they're tenacious on the defensive line.

I think that DK Metcalf coming back, yes.

But I mean, really the reality is that when you start lining up Lassiter against him one on one, he's an all pro kind of guy.

And then you have the other guys that are gonna line up and take away, clamp down, whatever they gotta do.

I just see this being a very difficult day for the Steelers offense.

But I think they're gonna pull it off from there late in the fourth quarter.
