Um, you know, it's, it's early in the season, but, uh, the, the Steelers have defended their turf at Acrisure Stadium.
Meanwhile, the Bucs, you know, obviously they didn't have a win of any kind until, uh, Thursday Night Football against the Cowboys.
Um, so, you know, you had back-to-back, uh, Thursday nights with the two teams that are in this game.
They, they'd really be feeling down and out right now at O and five if not for pretty rousing performance by Bucky Irving in the run game.
The undrafted rookie Jalen Daniels probably did some things from that standpoint that maybe hadn't been done in the league since, uh, uh, Duck Hodges perhaps.
But yeah, the, the Steelers, it'd be a, a great time to get that first road victory.
So, uh, it'd be great time for a first win streak and you'd, you'd feel like you're playing with house money a little bit as you head to Paris.
Yeah, they need some house money to play with because this is the part of their schedule that we talked about last week that, you know, these next four games you'd wanna go at least three and one.
Well, they took care of business against the Colts this past weekend, so now it's time to take care of business on the road in Tampa Bay this upcoming week.
And give yourself some wiggle room because, you know, you go to Paris the following week, Brian, and, you know, you face a New Orleans team that's only won one game, and really the last couple weeks has not looked very good.
Uh, even in those first couple losses of the 2026 season for the Saints, they didn't look too, too bad, but now the last couple weeks they've kind of gone back to, uh, what a one-win team looks like.
Um, so who knows what happens there 'cause it's an international game, as we talked about.
