The Pittsburgh Steelers exited their bye week on a four-game winning streak with a 6-2 record, a mark that historically suggests strong playoff odds alongside potential postseason challenges. Of the previous 16 Steelers teams to open a season at 6-2, 15 qualified for the playoffs, with the 2009 roster being the only exception.
