Life is good for the Pittsburgh Steelers and their fan base heading into Week 6. After beating the lone unbeaten team, the Kansas City Chiefs, in their house, the team is riding high into Week 7.
After pulling off the upset, the Steelers have sky rocketed up the NFL Power Rankings as a result of their 4th win of the season. At 4-2, see where the team ranks among the main Power Rankings on the internet.
I realize Power Rankings don’t mean anything, but they are a great way to drum up discussion and debate among fans when it comes to the overall hierarchy in the National Football League.
Now, onto the rankings...

“The Steelers' M.O. is to beat the premier teams in the business, then falter against the crappy ones. Man oh man, is this team herky-jerky. Yet, given the topsy-turvy NFL, where the majority of the underdogs prevailed over the weekend, Pittsburgh is both consistently inconsistent and emblematic of the league. Central to the prime effort given in Arrowhead was the game being taken off the shoulders of Ben Roethlisberger and placed firmly in the belly of Le'Veon Bell, who put up 191 yards on 35 touches.”

“The Steelers haven't been impressing the way some thought they would, but they're still 4-2 and play the Bengals, Lions and Colts over their next three games. After that stretch, which features two road games, the Steelers will play five of their last seven in Pittsburgh.”
