Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers' #13 ranking appears justified given their 4-2 record lacks signature victories, as indicated by "no major wins/losses yet," suggesting they've beaten teams they should beat but haven't proven themselves against quality opponents. While their record is solid, being ranked below teams like the Rams and Broncos (both 5-2) and only slightly ahead of Jacksonville (4-3) indicates the strength of their wins may be questionable or their performances haven't been convincing enough to warrant a higher position. The Steelers likely possess enough talent to stay competitive in most games, but their ranking suggests inconsistency or underwhelming performances against average competition. To improve their playoff positioning and move up in the power rankings, Pittsburgh needs to secure quality wins against above-.500 teams and demonstrate they can compete with legitimate contenders rather than just taking care of business against weaker opponents. Their current trajectory keeps them in playoff contention, but without notable victories over strong teams, they risk being exposed when facing tougher competition down the stretch.
