The Pittsburgh Steelers are the best team in the National Football League.

No.

One.

Everyone was making fun of me.

Then, is anyone willing?

Dominique, Are you willing to say it now?

I'm willing to jump on that bandwagon with you.

However, Patrick live on Mahomes scares the hell out of all of us.

So I mean, the Chiefs haven't played all that well so far this season, but I think that's what slows everyone down from jumping on that undefeated Steelers bandwagon with that great defense in a year where it seems like no one plays defense.

The Steelers are one team that plays defense and has a quarterback with Super Bowl pedigree and seems like playmakers at every offensive position.

In a solid offensive line, it's hard to argue against them, and they seem to be getting better every week.

So I think you're probably right.

They're the best team in the NFL.

But I'm still scared of my homes, aren't you?

A little bit?

Of course, everyone is scared of Mahomes.

The best team doesn't always win and sometimes the best quarterback winds up winning.

They were fortunate to win the Super Bowl Last year they had the best quarterback, and they came from all of these deficits.

But Lewis, they have a coach that you trust.

They have a quarterback that you trust.

They all of a sudden have found a superstar receiver in Chase Claypool.

And of all the contenders, they play the best defense.

And it's not even close.

That's why I keep saying it.

Yeah, I think.

And also what you were banking on was the fact that Ben Roethlisberger was gonna come back 100% healthy, although he said that he was ready to go and then he will remain healthy and as long as he does.

Look, I think we've seen already, like the influence that franchise quarterbacks Hall of Fame caliber quarterbacks have on everyone else and how it lifts everybody else.

You think Ben not being back there isn't having everyone else raised their game?

Of course it is, and that's not to say that these guys aren't talented because they are.

But when he's there, everyone else's like sevens here.

We're good, let's roll and that's how it goes and that that's why it was everything was just sitting or holding your breath going asl ong as his elbow elbow is good and he can stay on the football field.

We've got a shot here and you're right, Chase Claypool has been playing at I remember seeing taste Claypool down at the Senior Bowl.

CNN met practice and standing next to him as they were going through individual period.

And it was him and Denzel Memes and Antonio Gandhi golden all these big receivers.

I remember looking at taste Claypool like this E I was like, Oh, my God, thing this kid.

I mean, he's tearing it up and, you know, on the defensive side, you know Mike Tomlin's gonna have them, right?

You know, Minka is playing out of his mind and you know, t.

J And but, I mean, these guys, I mean, they're legit.

They're gonna be right there.

But don't forget number 15 of the Chiefs.

Yes.

Don't forget no one.

No one is in any way taking anything away from Patrick Mahomes.

All I'm saying is, if you look at the teams from top to bottom and the chief, if you watch the Chiefs play, let's see what they are with Levy in Bell really quickly do what?

Your thoughts.

Pittsburgh.

Absolutely.

Pittsburgh is definitely gonna be one of those teams right there with the Chiefs and the E.

I mean, listen, last year, I mean, this is a team that was what, eight and eight, starting quarterback dead.

They were on their third quarterback and they still were 18 8.

So imagine now you have a guy and Ben Roethlisberger back.

Now, all it all depends on, you know, just staying healthy.

But with seven back there, absolutely.

We've got eight and three.

Last year they were eight and three last year in games in which they scored at least 11 points.

83 which they score 11 points.

They picked up right where they left off.
