It's a bigger challenge for sure, but it's a better football team.

Good afternoon to you.

Good Monday afternoon.

I'm Dan Kovach, I'm DK.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

This is a new double-shot show that comes your way every weekday at 4 p.m.

Eastern time.

The commanders are waiting for the Steelers in Landover this weekend.

That was supposed to be one of the remnant easy ones of the first half of the schedule.

Of course, now the commanders are seven and two.

They have Jane Daniels.

They have the league really buzzing about them.

I don't think anybody saw this coming.

And you have this team here.

I believe really fully equipped, not fully, not fully, but close to fully equipped to take on whatever's coming.

Because as I see it, the Steelers are six and two, even though not exactly everything went right.

In fact, some significant things over the first half, significant facets went wrong.

Russell Wilson wasn't available for most of it.

Maybe a lot of us, myself included, didn't realize how much that meant because we appreciated

a lot of what Justin Fields was bringing.

Russ comes along kind of changes the overall feel of the offense. That's,

that's good. That's real. That's a step up. Look at the running back situation. There hasn't

been a hundred percent healthy Jalen Warren from the outset until the game against the Giants.
