28-10 Monday night beatdown on the road of Denver confirms that Pittsburgh is locking in.

Now 6-2 with five wins in a row including over the Vikings and Broncos, with their running game springing to life behind Rashard Mendenall and a defense that scores more consistently than the Browns’ and Raiders’ offenses, the Steelers have, in my mind anyway, resumed their place as best team in the AFC. No apology to the undefeated Colts necessary for that statement, the Steelers just look like the more dangerous and complete team, even with Peyton Manning playing out of his mind.

As for Denver, the skeptics will be back out, already raising an eyebrow over the way they got manhandled at the lines of scrimmage in the last two games. The Chargers are all of a sudden just one game out. Guess those handing the division to Denver a few weeks back were a bit premature.

At any rate, with typical blinders, Mike Greenberg just declared the Cincinnnati at Pittsburgh game THE game of the upcoming NFL weekend. Yeah, it’s a big one. Probably NOT as big as the annual Colts/Pats rematch this weekend what with the Colts still being undefeated and all, but, hey, don’t let facts get in the way of whatever pops into your head, Mike.
