Welcome to the terrible take a daily segment telling Steelers nation what's on our mind. I'm Alex Kazora.

Looking back on Sunday night, here's my summation of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Special teams were awesome, the defense played well, and the offense played better.

All in a winning effort that matters most, and I recognize the circumstances they were facing.

The road team out west on a short week.

A win is a win.

But more specifically, Special Teams has been a huge catalyst for the Steelers success this year.

Presley Harvin flipping the field, Chris Boswell nailing three 50-yarders the past two games, including

a 57-yarder against the Raiders. The

past two games, including a 57 yarder against the Raiders and the coverage unit doing well overall.

Defensively, Pittsburgh was solid against Las Vegas. They bottled up the run game, pressured Jimmy Garopolo and made

splash plays in the secondary. It wasn't perfect. The Vante Adams dominated, but the

defense held up and I'll take it. The offense again it was improved no question about that

and hopefully something they can build on but the run games still left plenty to be desired

far too many negative plays while the group still got

off to a slow start. They were fortunate to avoid a pick six on what should have

been a walk-in score by cornerback Marcus Peters and still Pittsburgh's offense overall to not generate enough explosive plays.

I'm not expecting everything to be fixed in an instant, but it's important to offer inventory of where the offense

and this whole team is at.

This is still a work in progress and Pittsburgh to me does not look like a contender.

The scratching and clawing their way to victory,

it sure beats losing, but there is still a hill to climb.
