Since the season is about half over and the Steelers are hold on to a division lead by essentially a game and a half, here’s what we have to look forward to in November.
Overall: 5-2 Conf:5-0 Div: 3-0

This schedule is brutal, but it doesn’t let up. December looks even rougher. The Steelers are going to need to find a way to get to 10 wins.
Overall: 4-3 Conf: 4-3 Div: 2-1

@ NY Giants
Philadelphia
@ Cincinnati
Joe the Quarterback is 3-1 at home and 1-2 on the road thus far. At least he has a defense that keeps him in games.
Overall: 3-4 Conf: 2-2 Div: 1-2

The Browns have four of their five games at home, but all four are very losable games.
As I said at the outset of the year, 9-7 may very well win this divison. But it would be great to get to 10 wins. With the Bills loss this past weekend, the Steelers are still sitting in 2nd place in the conference, and it would be great to be able to hold on to that bye week. November is going to be a tough road, and San Diego and Indy are going to come in here fighting for their playoff lives. The way I see it, if we come out of November with at least a 3-2 record, we’ll be in great shape.
