00:00And last night's game in particular, I think we may have learned more about Pittsburgh than we

00:10did about Dallas. I'm not really sure which Dallas team it's going to be from week to week, but

00:14Pittsburgh-Vinny, that's their recipe. I think that they're going to walk away upset losing the

00:19game yesterday, but really should they be? Because again, they're going to average between 14 and 20

00:24points every game. The games are going to go down right to the very end. They're going to have to

00:29make a play on defense. They didn't do it last night. If I'm Mike Tomlin, I look at the film

00:34today, and I say, you know what? This is who we are. We're probably going to win more games than

00:38we lose playing this way. And in the end, Dallas, what? What did they make? One more play, really,

00:43basically, than Pittsburgh to win this one? So I got no issue for either team here.

00:48Yeah, Mike Tomlin probably secretly likes this, that they lost the game, but they played his way

00:53down to the end, and you'll just say we didn't execute. That's going to be his honest

00:58assessment of how they are right now. And I think he knows his team's limitations. He knows how we

01:03have to win games. They're not going to explode offensively in any game unless they have a very

01:09favorable matchup. But the Cowboys are tough defense, even without Micah Parsons, without

01:12Derron Bland. It's a tough team to navigate a little bit there, even at home. So when I look

01:18at the Steelers, yeah, they need to just pick up and go forward here with this, and they've lost a

01:23couple games, but they're not into the meat of the AFC North schedule yet. That's what's going to

01:28matter most here as we go forward, how these teams fare against each other, and how those Ravens games

01:34go. So they can play with the Ravens with this style of play, for sure. We know that. And when you look

01:38at the Cowboys, I mean, they needed this one, because you look at the schedule, it is brutal

01:42coming up. They have, I think, Lions, 49ers, Falcons, Eagles. I think those are the next four opponents.

01:49These are all potential playoff teams in the NFC this year. So they had to have this AFC win

01:55pretty badly, and maybe desperation kicked in for Dak Prescott there on that final drive.
