We can talk and talk and talk about how we feel the team should be approaching the

2026 season.

They think, what they think is what matters.

Good morning to you.

Good.

Friday morning from Newark, New Jersey.

I'm Dan Kovachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports, and this is Daily Shot of Steelers,

presented by the Fandual Sportsbook.

It comes your way bright and early every weekday.

If you're into hockey and or baseball, I also offer daily shots of penguins and pirates in the same place that you found this.

I'm in Newark, obviously, to cover the Stanley Cup playoff-bound penguins.

And I just covered a playoff team this past winter.

I know that seems to be kind of buried, especially in our little

corner of the world back home. I had a Steelers fan recently, and this was in person at our

downtown headquarters, stop in and say, I wish I could get as excited about the Steelers as I've been about

the Penguins and as I've been about even the pirates with their outrageous young talent

and Paul Skeens and Connor Griffin. And I'm like, I mean, you know they just won the division,

meaning the Steelers. And I'm like, you know, they made the playoffs.

Yeah, but you saw the playoffs.

All they do is get in and blah, blah, blah.

Okay.

The 2026 season, I don't feel is going to represent the start of something. I think that's a fair stance to take.
