The Steelers are headed into their biggest game yet this season with a Sunday matchup against the AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens.
Earlier this week, we polled fans about their confidence in the direction the team is heading, how they’d grade GM Omar Khan in 2024, and whether or not Pittsburgh can slow down the Ravens’ high-octane offense.
Here’s what they had to say:
Fans are confident Steelers can hold Ravens to under 30 points
Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and the Ravens’ offense lead the NFL in points scored this season, averaging a whopping 31.8 per game. The Steelers, on the other hand, have yet to give up over 27 in a contest.
Something has to give this week, and Steelers fans are confident it won’t be the black and gold. The vast majority of fans believe that Pittsburgh will hold the Ravens to under 30 points on Sunday.
Fans give GM Omar Khan high grades
Steelers general manager Omar Khan hasn’t had a perfect season — his addition of a WR2 came a little late — but it’s been a rousing success for the most part. Khan brought in two winning quarterbacks, re-signed stud defensive tackle Cam Heyward, and signed one of the biggest steals of free agency in safety DeShon Elliott, among other roster moves.
The Steelers are 7-2, so it’s not a surprise that 95% of fans have given Khan a “B” or higher in 2024.
Fan confidence continues to soar
Last week, fan confidence hit a season-high of 94%. This week, it’s risen even more to an impressive 97%. The Steelers’ win over the Commanders did a lot to increase confidence, and a victory in an even bigger game against Baltimore might see those numbers grow even larger.
The vibes are good in Pittsburgh ahead of Ravens week.
