"We're the Pittsburgh Steelers, everybody knows what that means," coach Mike Tomlin said, via the team's official website. "We get everybody's best punch, regardless of record. I think people respect our brand and they respect our franchise and its history. That's been my experience over 14 years here. Regardless of our record, people know when they are playing the Pittsburgh Steelers and a certain responsibility that comes with our reputation. We're going to get people's best shot."
being 8-0 opposing teams will be wanting to be known as the team who knocked the Steelers off their undefeated season. Ben and Juju and other players better get their head out of the clouds.

The Steelers need to start giving every opponent their best punch

I was talking to a co-worker buddy of mine that's a Cowboys fan leading up to the game. He as well as my other co-workers that are fans of various other teams all were talking about how Pittsburgh was just going to blow out the Cowboys.
I told them that historically under Tomlin the Steelers have a tendency to play down to the level of teams that most would consider to be inferior. With that being said, I also pointed out that Dallas might be a bad team, but bad teams can sometimes be the toughest opponents because they'll play with reckless abandon and throw things at you that you normally wouldn't expect. I also pointed out that Dallas was starting Gilbert and there isn't much in the way of tape on the guy, so it would've made it more difficult for Keith Butler to gameplan defensively as college tape, and maybe some preseason stuff would be all he'd of had to study the guy.
At the end of the day though, I agree with Coach T, every team is going to give us their best punch. When you're undefeated that puts a target on your back. We need to throw our own best punches from here on out, can't keep letting teams get huge chunk plays on us.

Not only do we need to throw our best punches we need a killer mentality. No mercy. This is not a JV league as Tomlin likes to put it. We need to show the world we are varsity with no regrets. On any given day we can be beat so our A game needs to take shape now.

Makes you wonder if they can go undefeated at 16-0 possibly?! As that would be something else.
