He played good enough to win vs the Colts, but I'm not too optimistic about next week. The Rams have a DL that can get after the QB, and their secondary especially with Jalen Ramsey now is a bad matchup for us. Hope I'm wrong but 4-5 is my call.

Vegas agrees
Steelers 4 point underdogs

4:25 kickoff so with extra time to drink the crowd should be primed to cheer (or start booing the dump off passes in the second quarter)
IMO the Conner injury is a possibly grade 2 AC joint, due to the vague information about it. I would rather let him take the extra game off and try to have him better for the stretch run of 7 games, where a 10-6 finish is possible.
I would hope that whoever Rudolph worked with in the offseason is in contact with him regarding his footwork. The footwork he had in the preseason and the Seattle and SF games looks to be gone to me and he is back to the flat footed QB he was at OK State. Honestly, I would hope the Steelers QB coach would be on that, but I don't trust that he is able to develop the skills of a young QB.
I'm not confident in the Steelers in 4:25 games. They haven't been very good.
Too bad we don't have a big back to beat off defenders.
