55. . . Previous: 15th. Pittsburgh Steelers. 10. team

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin deserves a lot of praise for what he did last season going 8-8 without Ben Roethlisberger. With him back now, the Steelers are 3-0 after a fourth-quarter comeback over the Houston Texans.

Running back James Conner ran the winning score in and he said that the team is a fourth-quarter club after the game, according to the AP Recap on ESPN.com. There, it was also explained how dominant he and the Pittsburgh run game was in this win.

"“Conner finished with 109 yards rushing and added 40 yards receiving. He had plenty of help from rookie Anthony McFarland, who ran for 42 yards on six carries in his NFL debut and Benny Snell Jr., who converted a key third-and-1 on the go-ahead touchdown drive. After opening the season with two relatively drama-free wins, the Steelers needed to overcome an early 11-point deficit to stay perfect.” — AP, via ESPN.com"

After Conner scored the touchdown to give Pittsburgh the lead, they forced three incompletions from Deshaun Watson and then ran just under five minutes off the clock to seal the win. Pittsburgh is a team to watch as they have enough talent on both sides of the ball to compete with any team and in any style of game.
