    They’re tied with the Eagles for #1 in the luck index. That’s got something to do with it.

    To be fair, success in the NFL always turns on a bit of luck. And the Browns aren’t far behind, at #6.

    But the Steelers’ luck rating (2.0) is on a different tier than the Browns’ (0.8). You’d expect some regression there at some point.

    Then again, the Steelers are often like Billy Zane in Titanic—they somehow make their own luck.

    At this point we have to wonder if not trading Booth Matt for Sideline Matt was keeping us back this whole time.

    The league should force a mid season mediocre bowl between the Seahawks (6-3) and the Steelers. We’re at -1 point differential, have run 79 fewer plays than our opponents, and have been out-gained by a couple hundred yards. Though we haven’t been out-gained every game. So maybe it’s different than what the Steelers are doing.

    Tomlin is just unreal as a leader of men. It doesn’t get mentioned enough but god damn is he great as a HC.

    The AFC North is always so insane. It’s like the NFC East except half the teams aren’t total shit every other season.
