PITTSBURGH– The Pittsburgh Steelers moved to 6-2 after their third straight win with a 26-18 loss to the New York Giants. Pittsburgh now enters the bye week on top of the AFC North for the gauntlet that awaits them after the bye week.

A rising offense behind the arm of Russell Wilson is an excellent start to figuring things out on that side of the ball. Three consecutive 100-yard rushing performances from Najee Harris have shown that the running game is starting to come alive.

However, the Giants gained almost 400 total yards of offense after struggling to even score points the previous two weeks. Still, the Steelers continue to force turnovers, winning the turnover battle two to one and ultimately securing the win with a game-ending interception.

The Steelers’ special teams remained elite. Danny Smith’s unit has proven to be one of the best in the league.
