I see the Steelers as just good enough to beat teams that are bad, mediocre, or teams the Steelers defensive scheme matches up well against but they are easy to expose if the other team has the right offence. Essential they play super low risk on offence (unless they get behind by 2 TDs) and focus the defence on the red zone and turnovers. It seems like they are getting lucky with turnovers but really they are letting bad/mediocre teams take risks which eventually lead to turnovers and they have monster OLBs that know how to cause turnovers. These turnovers often come at the end of the game because the pressure is at its highest and the other team needs to score at all costs meaning they will be likely take even more risks. On top of all that it is all the more effective when TJ Watt puts the fear of God into the opposing QB.
I wouldn’t say it was that big of a mistake considering the Jets were 4-4 two weeks ago and had Rodgers to start the season. Sure they could have done a better job with the backup spot but at the end of the day a backup isn’t the guy who wins you a SuperBowl 99.9% of the time. If anything this is just lingering pain from drafting Wilson in the first place.
