Colin Cowherd: “The Steelers have been such a great business, but even great businesses like Sears and JC Penney; they erode over time... They’re now forcing Big Ben to have to throw over 50 times – not good. The injuries are piling up – not good. They don’t even attempt to run the football – not good. And they struggle to put away average teams – not good… I’m watching the Steelers and do you know who they are? They’re the Patriots from last year. The Patriots got off to this 8-0 start and we were all like ‘WOW’, and then all of the sudden the games got closer, they were asking more of Brady, and the results weren’t good. The last three games Big Ben has had a passer rating in the 80’s. They’re the Patriots and I can’t unsee it. They got off to a fast start, then start losing all these close games, and then they get one-and-done'd in the playoffs by Tennessee. We paid them so much respect because of the ‘BRAND’, the name, Big Ben, and the coach, but they’re just not dynamic. Look at them, they can’t run. They don’t wanna make Big Ben throw 45-55 times, but that’s what they have to do… They’re not a great football team. They’re a ‘good’ football team. One week from now they face Buffalo and they’re going to lose, and when they lose they’ll no longer be the top seed. Similarly last year New England lost that last game to Miami and they lost the bye… We gave the Patriots so much credit for going 8-0, and then we looked back and went ‘what were the impressive wins?’ You look back at the Steelers wins and see it was a bunch of wins over the Jags, Cowboys, and Bengals.” (Full Segment Above, and Herd Hierarchy Rankings Below)
Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why he thinks the 11-1 Pittsburgh Steelers are not a ‘great’ football team, or dynamic in the slightest, and why he has them ranked 8th on his Week 13 NFL ‘Herd Hierarchy’ Rankings.
Check out the segments above and below as Colin details why the 2020 Steelers remind him of the 2019 Patriots who started the season 8-0, but ultimately went 4-4 down the stretch, lost home-field advantage to massive underdog Miami in Week 17, and then were knocked out in the first round.
