Misery Index · Content
Steelers fans suspicious of how stress-free a 23-9 win over Cleveland and a 1-5 Ravens scoreboard actually feel.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Rodgers threading it to D.Metcalf twice for chunk plays, a Co.Heyward touchdown catch over the middle, and a defense that held Cleveland to nine — the kind of complete afternoon this fanbase forgot was on the menu. At 4-1 with Baltimore face-down at 1-5, the standings are doing real emotional labor right now. The unease is whether this is the actual team or just the soft part of the schedule being kind.
