    In the points for, points against difference, the Steelers are in 4th.

    Redskins at +66
    Bills at +63
    Lions at +62
    Steelers at +60

    Not so honorable mention
    Panthers at -133

    Not a stat position I would have guessed.

    I know people kind of lose their mind about our defence at times but the opposition are averaging less than 15 ppg. You've always got a chance if that's the case.

    We have not allowed a point in the third quarter this year.

    Raiders and Jets games. Steelers racking up the points. We've seen this before with All Pro WR, RB and HOF QB. Roethlisberger threw 12 TDs total vs. Colts and Ravens in 2014. Steelers then go to the horrific Jets and lose. Beware.

    It was nice to get a breather from the raiders and Jets games, my heart needed it, but at the end of the season the only stat I really care about is each game at the end says more for us than them, lol.

    Exactly.....We are actually number 1 in points allowed. The only teams that have less....haven't played as many games as we have. That's why I snicker every time I hear someone complain. Not one thing on Defense matters more than points given up.

    Plus we've played and beaten Jets, Chargers and Broncos who are three other top 8 (or top 10 can't remember full statement I saw) defences in the NFL in terms of ppg.

    The first half of the Jets game looked to be another nail biter. Second half Steelers are a force.

    I forget the actual stat, but a good % of NFL games come down to a TD or less, just seems like *especially in recent years) we have a very large % lol.

    They are a great second half team this year!

    I mean before the week 8 start,the steelers were second in PPG on offense and first in points allowed!

    True but I see a stat that the steelers are the team who have played the most one score game in the Tomlin era and they have a great record in those games,like first or second in those games!

    If we give up a only a field goal, we will be tied with the Chargers for ppg.

    The offense is significantly better than the last couple years. A huge part of that is both Fields and Wilson being significantly better than Pickett was.

    Yeah and also a much better OC.....They are in the middle of the league in yards and PPG(23 PPG) on offense right now but I think they could finish close in the top 10 if our offense can improve our red zone offense and have less penalties after big play or TD!

    I think there’s something about averages that’s not being considered here… unless you are claiming 7 games is not a statistically relevant number of games, but 8 games is statistically relevant.

    True but after sunday they will have the same game so if the chargers don't gave up 32 points vs Browns,LAC will stay at first...we will see

    What is so hard in understanding that one game can change your point differential. We have played 8 games. The only team above us has only played 7. One whole game can mean a lot.
